How well do you respond to criticism or correction, both positive and negative ones? Do you approach it logically or take a defensive and emotional stance towards it? I have a very close friend that never wants to be corrected or admits he is wrong now matter what. Initially, I thought it had to do with him having a bad habit, but now I am almost convinced it is a psychological problem. The way he shifts blame on people when things go wrong is actually surprising to me. According to him, someone is always responsible for a mistake or the cause of a problem (which is true), but that person can never be him. Whenever he makes a mistake, he doesn’t admit it and when you try to criticize the fact that he isn’t owning up to his mistake, it turns out to be a 2 way argument where each party walks out. The matter becomes open ended and without a conclusion. I have grown tired of trying to correct him. Is there a way I can make him see that sometimes, he is the cause of his own misfortune?
