> I like to be told I'm wrong.
I believe you, but in my own experience I've met more people who say this than who mean this.
Usually it's situational. People might genuinely like to be wrong when the novelty is fun or useful, for example in lab work or in low stakes classwork. However, they despise it with politics, their job, or anything else that might have actual consequences in their lives.
A lot of people believe this about themselves, but yes, like you suspect, they don't mean it when it counts.
