There's nothing wrong with trusting yourself. On the contrary, self-confidence is linked to almost every element involved in a happy and fulfilling life. It provides greater motivation and more resilience, improves relationships, and strengthens your sense of authenticity.
But take it too far and you become impossible to put up with, behaving as if you are more important than other people — arrogant — and might even end up featured on the subreddit 'Confidently Incorrect.'
As we've already shown you in our previous publications here, here, and here, this online community is dedicated to taking down people who proudly make false statements. It's the ultimate online purgatory for liars. Continue scrolling to check out its latest "visitors."

“You Should Speak English”
RELATED:
"No one enjoys being wrong. It’s an unpleasant emotional experience for all of us," psychologist Guy Winch, Ph.D., said. "The question is how do we respond when it turns out we were wrong—when there wasn’t enough milk left for coffee, when we hit traffic and missed the flight, or when we find out the man who sat in jail for five years based on our identification was innocent all along?"
"Some of us admit we were wrong and say, 'Oops, you were right. We should have gotten more milk.' Some of us kind of imply we were wrong, but we don't do so explicitly or in a way that is satisfying to the other person: 'We had plenty of time to get to the airport on time if the traffic hadn’t been unusually bad. But fine, we’ll leave earlier next time.'"
"But some people refuse to admit they're wrong, even in the face of overwhelming evidence: 'They let him go because of DNA evidence and another dude's confession? Ridiculous! That’s the guy! I saw him!'"

This 'proof' is not correct. While the uranium decay chain does end in lead, not all lead originates that way. Some quantity of all the stable lead isotopes was created directly in supernovae, and lead-204 is created exclusively that way. (Obviously, the Earth is more than 4000 years old. But the proof is not that simple).
Winch thinks that when a person pushes back against the facts, when they simply cannot admit that they were wrong in any circumstance, everything boils down to their ego. Their sense of self.
"Some people have such a fragile ego, such brittle self-esteem, such a weak 'psychological constitution,' that admitting they made a mistake or that they were wrong is fundamentally too threatening for their egos to tolerate," the psychologist said.

I once helped a guy at my work(I am in IT)who was named Jigar like cigar but actually pronounced like jigger. He said it, I repeated it. My coworkers all said "Duuuude be careful saying s**t like that" I said it's literally his f*****g name and he told me how to pronounce it. Maybe not walk on eggshells when you've done nothing wrong?
Bender Bending Rodríguez 3 years ago (edited)
In India Jigar means liver, courage, chutzpah, balls, or something like guts as in when you say "You don't have guts/jigar/balls/courage to use people's name as they are. How sad!".

"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end." Revelations 1:8
These people can't admit they're wrong, so their defense mechanisms do something remarkable to avoid it. They literally distort their perception of reality to make it (reality) less threatening.
"Their defense mechanisms protect their fragile ego by changing the very facts in their mind, so they are no longer wrong or culpable," Winch said.
"As a result, they come up with statements, such as, 'I checked in the morning, and there was enough milk, so someone must have finished it.'"

Usually, when it's pointed out that they don't see things as they are, these people double down. "In our ... example, they will insist that their erroneous identification of the robber was correct despite DNA evidence and a confession from a different person."
"When confronted, they will continue to insist or pivot to attacking anyone who tries to argue otherwise and to disparage the sources of the contradictory information."

People who repeatedly resort to this kind of behavior are, by definition, psychologically fragile. And they don't like it.
"[Such an] assessment is often difficult for people to accept, because to the outside world, they look as if they're confidently standing their ground and not backing down, things we associate with strength. But psychological rigidity is not a sign of strength, it is an indication of weakness," Winch highlighted.

"These people are not choosing to stand their ground; they’re compelled to do so in order to protect their fragile egos. Admitting we are wrong is unpleasant, it is bruising for any ego. It takes a certain amount of emotional strength and courage to deal with that reality and own up to our mistakes," Winch said.
Most of us feel uncomfortable when we're reminded of our imperfection, but we get over it. We take the L. And it's definitely something worth patting ourselves on the back for.

To be fair, the sentence itself is ambiguous. It could be understood as rejection, as in the son is no longer accepted as a part of his family, or as an acceptance, as in the son is now his daughter but still his family nevertheless. I don't fault people for thinking it is a rejection. It can be read as one. I suspect this might be a dad jok gone wrong, to be honest.
