The point of this thread is that being wrong is normal, therefore not something to worry about.

I'll keep learning until the day I die. I can't even begin to guess at all the things I'm wrong about. Hopefully I'll be right about more things before I die.Keep on Civin'

Being young and right was easy. As I get older I realize that I know less and less.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

As the way you appear is determined by the way others perceive you, that really isn't something you can declare false yourself.Comment
