What's something you were completely wrong about?

Maybe you mislearned a fact in elementary school. Maybe you misjudged someone's character. Maybe you took a risk thinking it would pay off and it backfired. Maybe you made the complete wrong call, maybe at the wrong time, and maybe for the wrong reasons. We've all made mistakes, errors, and slip ups. We've all had to learn some things the hard way. And we've all had beliefs we were certain of flip, change, or decay--either over time or in a single, often difficult moment.

So, with all that in mind:

What's something you were completely wrong about?

How did you find out you were wrong?

What was it like to confront that?

Were there any repercussions?

Has that experience changed your outlook now?

Can other people learn from your situation from the outside, or does the new understanding come from the experience itself?

Are you better off because of it, or did it cause some harm?
