I actually like being wrong. It took me awhile to get to where this is the case. Yet, once I realize I am wrong that generally proceeds to a flood of questions, seeking, and eventually learning. None of that would happen without me realizing I was wrong.

People have been conditioned to reflexively not want to be wrong. This can cause a lot of cognitive dissonance.

I still have that problem, but I've greatly reduced it and I really don't have nearly as many cognitive dissonance moments as I did in the past (observing them after the fact).

For me realizing that I am wrong, or possibly wrong, etc has been truly one of the most freeing experiences I've had with regard to my mind.

Especially as I don't view it as a bad thing now, but an opportunity.
