It's hard to be right most of the time

If you're right in an arguement most of the time, how can you evade people saying "Ofc you just can't be wrong can you?" when you prove your point?

Just don't argue with people all the time, unless you want people to think you are an asshole. It's immature to want to always be right.

@benyovszki4,
It's pretty easy to be wrong. Why don't you try it?

@benyovszki4,
Are people saying that because they have conclusively proven you wrong and you refuse to accept it? Just because you have a firmly held opinion doesn't mean you are "right".

I run into the same problem as the OP myself sometimes. Just because someone IS right nearly all the time, doesn't mean they are "wanting" to always be right.

Good advice though. Triage the corrections. If it is not so important to correct someone, just don't speak up.

It took me a long time, decades in fact, to realise that even if you are almost always right, it may be sometimes be prudent to conceal the fact. Just to blend in.

@maxdancona,
Since you disagree, start a thread.

@engineer,
I was just joking with you engineer. Of course you are right about that.
