GIVING CORRECTIONS || LOH #120

avatar

Going through this week's topic for the community, I got more drawn by the second question, where we were asked it we had any virtue that people misunderstood. A lot of times I mostly feel like I'm someone that people easily misunderstand and I think that is because I also misunderstand people too. Well, despite the fact that I misunderstand people and people also misunderstand me, I do have some virtue I think people take to be a fault in me.

The truth is, we all make mistakes at some point in our lives and it is wrong for one to think that since a person is giving a word of advice that person is then a person that never makes mistakes. I have a hate-love relationship for accepting corrections from people, some people actually. Whenever a person tries correcting me in a way, I might feel bad and uncomfortable but then I always try my best to look beyond the humiliation and take the correction given. Although, there were times when I refused to accept some certain corrections because I saw that the person correcting me also makes the same mistake.

Accepting correction is hard!

The truth is, I was a bit foolish then and it did cost me some pains and regret. It took me a lot of time to understand the reason why I should accept the corrections given and get better as an individual not minding the person telling me my fault as long as I know it is for my own benefit. As a person, I like telling you your fault and I also don't mind you telling me mine and so many people say I like telling people things that I don't do and that has helped me become better because of that I keep trying to work on myself so I can be worthy enough to point out the wrong of others and hope we all get it right.

We have to tell ourselves our faults to grow...

Being corrected is not enjoyable at all but then it helps us know where we are getting it wrong and how to correct it to be the better version of ourselves. I know sometimes I might be harsh with my words when correcting some people but I'm trying to find a solution to that too. I want us to be better and that's why I point out the wrong ways of people especially those I'm close with and if I use some harsh words I might defeat that aim and I think this is the reason most people misunderstand me and I'm trying as much as I can to correct that.

As you correct others, you get the opportunity to get corrected too because no one knows it all, we have to help each other get better

I want to appreciate @irenenavarroart for choosing this interesting topic for this week's ladies of hive contest. I will love to invite @merit.ahama to check out this contest too.

You have to know how to choose the words and the right moment to make a correction because these are usually unpleasant to listen to for the majority. Thank you for participating

Though it is always hard accepting corrections from someone who we think makes the same mistakes too and it makes us question "why is he or she correcting me on something he or she does too?" At that time, we find it difficult to accept. I feel we can ignore that and accept those corrections to be the best of ourselves. In fact, such a person correcting us may want to change considering the fact that he or she knows what he or she is doing wrong. The conscience is always there, isn't it?

Exactly! With time the people giving out corrections will also learn how to make their own life better but sometimes people just prefer only a Saint to correct them.

Thank you so much for your contribution, it's highly appreciated

Taking correction from people can be very hard especially is they people feel like they're perfect.

Sometimes, it's better to look beyond the thin line and just accept the correction. But in your free time, if you feel the person should have corrected you in a different manner, then you should let them know.

There are other factors that might hinder you from accepting correction, When you consider yourself to have more intellectual knowledge of the subject the other party is trying to correct you on. This factor is mostly common knowledgeable people, they tend to feel disgusted by the opinion of people with knowledge.

Taking corrections is something you need to work on, I commented on one of your religious post sometime ago, you were kind of a little antagonising in your reply😂 😂.

It is a good thing you know this about yourself.

Just like you have rightly said, I know what I'm talking about and settling for the other is something that I can't do. By the way if you remembered what you were correcting me about that I refused to accept please tell me so I can be reminded 😊.

Accepting corrections is pretty hard. I will not lie. A bitter pill to swallow. But we have go if we'd become better people 💜. Although, some people don't really tailor their words and dish it out any how they see fit. That's what makes me not want go accept their corrections.

Its good to always be open to constructive critique...but nobody has to accept being downtrodden and challenged constantly. Constrictive critique is very useful though... I have welcomed it on Hive for the development of my own writing and have found that being open to it and actively seeking it has helped me immensely !LUV !ALIVE Popped in from Dreemport this evening.
