I think it’s a healthy thing to do to admit when your wrong as it places importance on truth rather than self image.
Some examples:
I thought pay-per-view was paper-view because you had to fill out a form to watch it.
This morning I insisted there was a noise outside to my partner and it was in fact the refrigerant in the fridge gurgling.
I thought the cat wanted to be pet— it did not.
I’m remodeling a house and I’ve learned that my initial idea is always wrong and it will take me 3 days to accept the right answer.
My ex often got frustrated with me because I spend so much time in the planning phase, like learning about things, researching the various options, and making sure that everything is fully prepped and laid out before I start on a project.
Despite all of that, I have yet to have a project go to plan, Except for the one that I came up with off the top of my head.
I was redoing my flooring, and I have like a half third story that’s open, and there’s a lot of exposed transition space between the straight drop-off and the end of the flooring.
It was gonna look really bad to just put L-shaped brackets down to cover over the transition, So, spur of the moment, I realized that I could put a longer flat piece that had a beveled edge on it, and then the L bracket on top of that, and it is probably one of the nicest features in my house.
