The expression is meant to reprimand or assure them that it’s okay to be wrong sometimes, or to recognize that other people’s views may be equally right or valid.

What they want you to do is to listen a bit more and hear what they have to say. Maybe they are telling you something that you dont understand yet, that would change your opinion. Try it out. What could it hurt?

They are right about it, sometimes it’s not neccesary to be right, and are other thing more important, but it’s kind of stupid to say it to someone, because that person won’t understand the saying at all in most situations. Thats because getting your right is your number one priority in that situations, I think.

i recommend marshall rosenberg’s nonviolent communication for you.

or learn active listening or reflective listening. needing to be right stops you from truly listening and a satisfying relationship with others.
