General Statement to the World

I've realized as of late that my mannerisms or the way I argue or the image I portray to the world comes across as "I am never wrong." I suppose, argues the part of me that loves to give excuses, that this is in small part due to the fact that I only generally argue when I truly feel I am right, not just for argument's sake or to be right. I have so little self confidence these days but I still manage to be firm about the things I think I'm right about.

I'm rambling and this idea was so much clearer when I thought about making this post, but this is a public apology to anyone who ever thought I wasn't open to reason, listening. That is my fault -- for making you think that I thought I couldn't be wrong. This is my apology for every time I failed to listen. This is my statement that I will do my best to listen rather than dismiss the ideas or opinions of others. I can be wrong; I'm wrong a lot in my life. I try to be a good person, I try to avoid errors, I try to live my life correctly, I try not to hurt anyone else, I try to be there for my friends, I try to grow as a person, but I make mistake after mistake after mistake. I'm wrong a lot in my life.

I apologize -- I am not always right.
