The Bitching Thread

Ah. That sucks.

What I've ended up concluding through my experiences is that admitting saves more face than being a loser. I'm not able to differentiate as to whether I admit because it's the "right thing" to do, or because it's the one that saves more face in the end (or that I'm lazy and it's easier to give in than to put up an act and think of lies).. but the outcome's good so I've given up caring about the reason I do it.

Good on you, Buff! I'd be nice if people actually fessed up of their wrongdoings (to others) more often, but I don't know that I'm lamenting the lack of this specifically.

What really bothers me is that immediate moment after the deed where someone goes into "auto-defense" mode and just blurts out something facetious to excuse whatever they did, or does the dangerous thing again to prove they can get away with it or basically flip the concept of responsibility the bird. So it's when people actively do the exact opposite of owning up to something just because they're too prideful/cowardly/who knows why. Isn't that a mockery of the concept of "integrity"?

I think it's because to me, self-reflection is the ultimate and final tool of growth. If this is blocked because of pride, to the extent where your own choices that nearly take someone else's life can't even sink in, then the consequences of that can be very real and irreversible.
