Okay, so forget about the ‘Deep Dive’ thing. We’re just gonna scratch the surface of Human Challenges, no biggie.

These expressions aren’t tough to say, but they can be tough to let out. So, we’re gonna go through these complicated expressions that seem impossible to say, but don’t worry, I’ll be throwing in some sarcasm too.

1. “I Was Wrong”

Admitting that you’re wrong can be pretty hard. It’s like saying that you’re just like everyone else — flawed and human. Most people try to avoid saying “I was wrong” and instead come up with excuses or try to blame someone else.

This is because our ego is a stubborn beast that doesn’t like to admit guilt. But actually, it’s better to own up to your mistakes. It shows that you’re honest and people respect that. So it’s better to admit your mistakes than to keep denying them and making excuses.

The ego, a stubborn beast, rears its head here and turns “I was wrong” into the most unutterable phrase known to humankind. Ironically, owning up to mistakes often garners more respect than denial ever could. But nah, keep sticking to your story about why the gas gauge doesn’t mean empty means empty. That’ll surely help.
