[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they’re “clearly wrong,” why do they need to admit anything. Grow up, and move on. If confessions matter that much to you, then don’t talk to them.[/quote]

Often this becomes a problem because a person is unavoidable -- a coworker, family member, or immediate neighbor.

Accepting responsibility for ones own actions helps to make these relationships possible. People who refuse to apologize become a black hole within communities, creating conflict and perpetuating disagreements that everyone else would rather move on from. It's an anti-social behavior. It can impact you even if you are not the person who deserves an apology.[/quote]

I worked for someone who screamed at me, at everyone. She was never wrong and to that end, when we asked her questions/direction, she would sometimes tell us things that weren’t true. She could never say, I don’t know, I’ll find out, she’d answer off the cuff rather than saying she didn’t know, and then never apologize for the subsequent mess. Also, her public ranting at someone in a meeting or that I could hear her doing on the phone to someone else affected my/all of our morale. She was never wrong, never sorry. [/quote]
