This is rational, I wish I could just do this but my ego is in the way and I don’t like being wrong.

  It’s less rational and more the result of work experience where the worst thing that could happen was someone dies. In that context, what-I-like doesn’t matter.

  One thing to keep in mind is this: Wise people are often wrong. Smart people make dumb mistakes all the time. Diligent workers still don't get to approach every single problem with meticulous attention to detail. Rational, reasonable people nonetheless inevitably hold some inconsistent beliefs. ... and so on. You can be wrong without being bad. It can be hard to remember this at an emotional level, especially if you have a history of being belittled for making mistakes, or you feel like you're not taken seriously enough. But it's true! Remind yourself of it. :)
