I know what you mean. When I get people disagreeing with me and saying I'm wrong, it can be very awfully intense, like seeing red and having hands tingle and stuff. (In other words, I guess that's a fight or flight response.) Making a post where I disagree with someone (and thus am likely to have someone doubling down and tell me why I'm wrong and they were right) can yield the same uncomfortable heightened state.

It can be very hard to be wrong, but there's no way to always be right, so wanting to never be wrong is pure wishful thinking. Maybe try looking at it from the point of view of an outsider -- if you saw a friend state something you knew to be wrong, would you be angry at them? Would you lose respect for them? Would you scream at them that they're wrong? Most likely not, because it's not a horrible crime to be wrong about something. The same goes for when YOU'RE wrong. No one is infallible, so if you're a terrible person for being wrong, then everyone is.

(Some people DO have reactions that negative to someone being wrong on the internet, but they may just not realize the effect of their actions and are just trying to debate or not be wrong themselves.)
