Do you get annoyed and how do you react when people correct you?
Could be on the forums and in real life, haha.

When you are corrected

If it's something really petty, such as forgetting to insert a comma then it's really annoying and unnecessary (unless it's an essay or something in which grammar is crucial to its success).
Forums are worse though. Normally because it's often a 'typo' which is very easy to make when pressing lots of buttons quickly and in the right order.

I don't mind if I'm wrong or if it helps me, but if someone's being petty then that annoys me
I get mad when people try to correct me (regardless of whether I'm right or wrong).
Yes, especially if the person knows exactly what I'm talking about. Had a doctor ask me about medication of which I know I don't say them right but he felt the need to continuously correct me like that would change anything. I don't react. You can just see the annoyance on my face in real life. Haven't had this issue online not that I remember.Do you get annoyed and how do you react when people correct you?Could be on the forums and in real life, haha.
Often times I just feel like an idiot when the person correcting me is giving me undeniable facts and makes me realize I was just the big dummy passing around bad information.
If feel the same way 👍It never happens to me cause I'm never wrong. I used to be conceited, but now I'm just perfect.
In all seriousness, I actually don't mind if folks point out that I've made a mistake. I actually find it helpful.
I feel like an idiot for the next few days and am more quiet than usual,
then I forget about it until one of those depressive overthinking events when my brain reminds me of all the times that made me feel stupid in public, since puberty or thereabouts.

I don't mind . it is more they way someone will use to correct me i will hate
I correct people all the time (in real life), they get annoyed with me. I dont do it on purpose though, it just comes out without me thinking.
13 years later I don't do this too much anymore. I don't care these days. When someone says something wrong I just giggle to myself. The other day someone said "pacific" instead of "specific" at work and I thought that was pretty funny. I didn't point it out though.
