MEME REFERENCE

And Then I Said

Use And Then I Said when self-correction collides with confidence, and that mismatch becomes the point of the conversation.

What it expresses

The contrast between a person's initial confidence and their subsequent realization of their own incompetence.

Example

For example, when someone confidently states a fact but later admits they were mistaken about it.

When not to use it

Avoid when the person's realization is not related to their initial statement but rather to a different situation.

• self-correction
• confidence
• realization
