why are people stubborn and cant admit when wrong?
these days i have been noticing a pattern so i was curious as to why , especially with teenagers.
im not talking about just factual information as i feel these days people just say thank you and move on but i mean something deeper like emotion or something a bit opinionated. i noticed most teenagers fights are somewhat petty due to being stubborn
for ex: “you were mean to me and threw my name under the bus” “it was wrong of you to dm my old crush” “i told you not to do __ and you did it anyways” i notice lots of times it leads to the other person getting defensive and not wanting to apologize even though the initial person just wanted to confront the issue + receive an apology
this isnt a personal story but something im genuinely curious in I also dont think people not wanting to admit they are wrong or getting defensive makes them a bad person either as im sure this is something deeper
