Yes, i have been stuck inside the feeling of being right, and happened my all the time when I practice chess, because I always have to find the best move, but if I consider one move from the begining like the best, then all my analisis doesn´t work because I am going to think that is the best, no matter what. What I have to do to step out of that feeling is realize that I am making that mistake, in order to see another options and find out what is better.

Yes, sometime I just don´t realized I´m wrong so I assume that everyone else is wrong and not me, especially when I know that they are people used to make mistakes. I haven´t escape completely, but the time I do, I try to understand the other person point of view and I considered that what he is saying makes a lot of sense so I could be wrong and he could be right.
