There's such a great ted talk on this subject!! It's called "Kathryn Schulz: On being wrong."

I willingly admit that I feel worthless when I am wrong. I get suicidal. Logically know that I won't be right all the time, and that ignoring my wrongness prevents be from being right in the future. But I want to be good at something. I want to be right, superior, and great at just one thing. Being wrong casts doubt on my identity as a smart person. And thus, I hate it. But I'm trying to work on that.

TED talks are a really cool series of lectures that random people give about science, psychology, whatever. They're always interesting! Here's the link to the one I mentioned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QleRgTBMX88

Nothing. Isn't it beautiful?

Having to be right all the time is the problem most people have.
