Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

We're ALL going to be wrong about some things, OP. It's going to happen pretty damn often, actually. Some of us are going to be wrong in really public and glaring ways (watch any given news story about politics; those guys pretty much make Getting Things Wrong In Public an Olympic sport).

We're ALL going to be disagreed with, sometimes by people who mean the world to us and their disagreement is going to be very, very painful. Sometimes we'll be disagreed with by people who don't even know us, but they'll make judgments about us anyway. Sometimes we'll be disagreed with even when we know, 100%, that we're right.

I don't know how old you are, OP, but learning to navigate life in general is about learning to navigate things like this and learning that as bad as they feel at the time, they are not the end of the world and you can pick yourself up and carry on. No one likes these processes, but they're how we grow as people. And if you try and avoid this feeling forever, you're going to miss out on so much.

Would you rather carry on being wrong without ever knowing it? Don't you owe it to yourself to learn as much as you can, and consider as many perspectives and viewpoints as you can? You still don't have to agree, but you will still benefit from learning how to empathize with a different point of view even if it's fundamentally opposed to yours.

Echoing the suggestions that it might be a good idea for you to work out where these feelings and fears truly come from. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you couldn't make mistakes or there'd be a disproportionate punishment or consequence? Have you been blamed for mistakes or wrong info/choices that were out of your control? Parts of your fear sound a lot like perfectionism, and the fear of what happens if you get things wrong (so you don't do them at all, or avoid as best you can); do you see elements of that in other areas of your life? Obviously only you can think about these questions, but if this isn't just about Tumblr, then you really do need to get a handle on your fear, because it will limit your life like you won't believe.

You CANNOT live your life in fear of being wrong, OP. Because you WILL be, like every other single human being in history ever.
