Why Some People Will Never Admit They're Wrong

"But some people refuse to admit they’re wrong, even in the face of overwhelming evidence: 'They let him go because of DNA evidence and another dude’s confession? Ridiculous! That’s the guy! I saw him!'”


"But what about when a person does push back against the facts, when they simply cannot admit they were wrong in any circumstance? What is it in their psychological makeup that makes it impossible for them to admit they were wrong, even when it is obvious they were? And why does this happen so repetitively—why do they never admit they were wrong?"

"Some people have such a fragile ego, such brittle self-esteem, such a weak "psychological constitution," that admitting they made a mistake or that they were wrong is fundamentally too threatening for their egos to tolerate. Accepting they were wrong, absorbing that reality, would be so psychologically shattering, their defense mechanisms do something remarkable to avoid doing so—they literally distort their perception of reality to make it (reality) less threatening. Their defense mechanisms protect their fragile ego by changing the very facts in their mind, so they are no longer wrong or culpable."


"In our other example, they will insist that their erroneous identification of the robber was correct despite DNA evidence and a confession from a different person. When confronted, they will continue to insist or pivot to attacking anyone who tries to argue otherwise and to disparaging the sources of the contradictory information (e.g., "These labs make mistakes all the time, and besides, you can't trust a confession from another criminal! And why do you always take their side?")."

"But when people are constitutionally unable to admit they’re wrong, when they cannot tolerate the very notion that they are capable of mistakes, it is because they suffer from an ego so fragile that they cannot sulk and get over it—they need to warp their very perception of reality and challenge obvious facts in order to defend their not being wrong in the first place."


Sounds...familiar.

This is why those that have met pfhildo (Tom, Spanky, Heekee) are tolerant (even defending to a point) of his moderation and posting behavior.

They have seen in person his psychological fragility and thus are reticent to call him out.

Tom who will savagely attack spanky for posts, will only tell pfhildo it is the "pink gas" he is inhaling that causes similar posts.

Look, if you haven't worked out that Spanky et al love generating froth then you can't have been paying attention - and Phil is such a shyt mod that the only reason I can see for keeping him around is because of the reaction he gets.  So just ignore him, don't post in his threads or even acknowledge him.

That might have been true at one point, but nowadays they're the ones who are always chimping out and being crybabies.

Phildo and Shytleg deleting threads and banning people from sheer butthurt (even long-time regs like AusCarFancier and Tom Leykis which never used to happen), spamming threads like petulant children even though they're supposed to be the adults in charge and constantly whimpering about "QAnon" and "misinformation" like the SNL church lady and putting up those unintentionally hilarious banners.

Seriously, the only reason people post here is to wind them up, otherwise it would be just those two goofballs and anon loser.

Remember when pfhildo claimed the mass murderer at the Christian school in TN was not a tranny and that it was qanon claiming that?

Why didn't he admit he was wrong?
