Social psychology suggests that an initial negative emotional reaction to correction is a natural tendency. Yes, being corrected is going to make you feel uncomfortable. No one likes it when their ego takes a hit.
And your emotional reaction might make you defensive.
I like the angle where today’s baking was made from.
Just as you rightly mentioned, being defensive might be due to the fact that we are right but to what end is our being right if we are not open to learning and the development it brings?
And then we think we are avoiding mistakes and risks yet we are walking right into it and thinking we are smart. May we not lose on all sides just because we fail to learn from our ‘obvious’ mistakes.
This calls for self evaluation and that is exactly what I would be doing in the next few days.
He who grows is he who learns.
