I’d absolutely rather take the embarrassment of being corrected, over the embarrassment of being wrong consistently.

    Oh yeah. It's a temporary thing, but I wasn't going to pretend like it's not a thing and say I'm instantly excited when someone proves me wrong without any kind of hit to my ego.

    We have instinctual emotional reactions and if we pretend we're 100% above them to the point they don't exist it makes it harder to empathize with others.
