    🤔 I wonder what the hell it is that’s so scary about admitting they’re wrong to other people.

      Growing up in an environment where mistakes were unacceptable sets the stage. Our willingness and ability to understand that that’s fucked up and change our attitudes about mistakes takes more growth.

      For some people it’s easier to dig in their heels and double down.

        🤔🤔🤔 I guess I can empathize. People are always traumatized by whatever their parents tell them. What a shame.
