Most people don't like when their ego is threatened. They'll make up any excuse to protect their flimsy sense of self worth.

It's easier to just go "I guess I was wrong" but most people are emotionally fucking cowards.

It really seems like this is easier to me too. The older I get the more I realize that this is one of the most difficult things for a ton of people to do and I don't understand why. Do they genuinely think they are incapable of being wrong? I don't think there's anything special about me so why does this seem so hard for almost everyone else?

Do they genuinely think

Given that this is about emotions, not thoughts, you're starting off on the wrong direction.
