All of us are sometimes wrong. It`s easy to make a mistake but can be hard to admit it. Most people either ignore the charges or do everything possible to prove that they are right, even knowing they`re not indeed. Acknowledge and admit your mistake as it makes you take responsibility for your life and extend your experience as well. It`s better not only to be able to confess that you`re wrong but also learn how to do that in a right way. Here’s how to take full responsibility for your mistakes…
1. Let a conflict go away
Dwelling on any conflict is never healthy. It’s better to leave the argument in the past and take care of the present to provide a happy future. Sulking is all about uncertainty. Instead of focusing on your self-improvement, you just waste your time overthinking who’s wrong and whom to blame. Say good bye to your conflict and start living a happy life.
2. Leave your past behind
Do you remember the fights where you were a loser? If you still can`t forget them, that`s a problem. You should understand that the one you had a conflict with has probably already forgotten that incident long ago. Think you shouldn`t do the same? Admit the mistake and don`t make it anymore instead.
3. Never excuse yourself
Thinking that your fault isn`t so big and you can excuse yourself for that is completely bad thing some people do. You know that you`re wrong but don`t want to tell it those who believe you and you decide to forget about it. Well, now you feel great but it`ll change when the truth comes out. Admit everything at once and you`ll be understood and surely forgiven or excuse yourself and then your mistake`ll be exaggerated because you`ll have to take responsibility for the mistake and for hiding your fault as well.
4. Learn from your mistakes
We make some mistakes almost every day. Sometimes they`re serious, but most of the time they`re so small that we simply ignore them. No matter how big your mistake is, you shouldn`t only admit it but also learn from it. We often step on the same rake twice because we don’t learn from our past mistakes. If you made a mistake, admit it, learn from it and move on.

5. Be wiser
There are many people that are always here to remind you of your past mistakes. If you can’t avoid those people, ignore them. Don’t let them make you feel guilty for everything you did in the past. Negative people love to make others feel miserable. Be wiser and don’t respond to their negativity.
6. Stay humble
Have you ever seen an angry loser? If yes then you know how miserable it looks like. Don`t fall into depression, if you did something incorrectly. Just admit your fault with as much humility as possible. By showing your acceptance of own defeat you immediately get rid of all possible proofs and arguments from aside.
7. Walk away from the situation
When the argument has happened it`s not always easy to turn on the “calm down function” as you still feel stressed and can`t relax at once. Try to excuse the opponent and walk away from that uncomfortable situation. This way you will avoid another argument and stress. Make your polite excuses, and find a quick way to relax.
A fully happy life is impossible without admitting of mistakes. The most important thing to do is to learn how to admit them and forget about them. We can`t make any conclusions if we don`t realize our faults. Don`t be afraid to look stupid when admitting the mistake after a long argument. It shows that you`re strong and responsible, but not weak and miserable. Do you take full responsibility for your mistakes?
