About This Quote
When people try to prove me wrong, I don’t feel bad about what I say. It's not because I don't care about what other people think of me, but because I know that what I say is right. People who try to prove themselves wrong are usually self-conscious and worried about what others think of them. They also tend to be perfectionists, which can lead to an inability to accept the fact that they’re not perfect.
These qualities could make them hard on themselves and others. Expecting others to be wrong is one way people try to prove themselves right. But the saying goes, “Even if others tried to prove you wrong, you still know yourself that what you said was right.”
