How do you deal with people that never accept their wrongs? We all make mistakes and we do it regularly, no big deal. But some people refuse to admit they’re wrong, even in the face of overwhelming evidence:
If person is sensible enough to understand the situation and has a patience to listen to your advice or explanation then you can make him/her realise/accept their mistake immediately otherwise I don’t think it’s possible to make people accept their mistakes.
If you want your loved ones to accept their mistakes then be careful before arguing with them. It might cost you your relationship. Sometimes it’s better to forgive them instead of losing a relationship. And remember forgiveness is an act of strength and not a weakness.
Only self realisation can make people accept their mistakes. Some people realise it very soon, some realise it after few years when they experience the same thing or encounter similar situation and some don’t realise it at all till they are on deathbed. People who are self-centred, heartless,unemotional, thick-skinned and who lack empathy will never accept their mistakes in their whole life.
First, do not try to obligate them, don’t lose your patience, cause you really need it to make them see they are wrong. Talk to them by expressing your opinion first. Don’t go right away on telling them to accept they’ve done a mistake.
Secondly, use arguments to protect your point of view. I know, you may think:” I’m not asking advices about a debate”, but arguments are basics on making people to listen to you and to get really convinsed that you’re right of something. And as I just said, be calm because that way they’re more likely to listen. Give them a summary of their actions and all the consequences of those actions. Make them see the damage they’ve left behind by simply showing them what they did.
Also, use rhetorical questions like: ‘How can someone do such a thing?’ or ‘What kind of way is this?’ but don’t sound to indignant though, as they may get you wrong and a fight may happen.
Most important, don’t make them feel targeted cause this will make it worse. Just make them feel your trying to do the best for everybody, tell this to them. Be peacful and don’t spare your support.Were humans first of all. Keeping this attitude will have the most benefits and the others will be more likely to regret.
