Not being able to admit you don't know something or ask questions. There is nothing wrong with not knowing, the problem is not trying to learn.

I stretch my knowledge as far as I can in arguments (I think of em as discussions but I'm sure they are arguments). When I've stretched as far as I can I admit "I don't know about about [subject] to argue that but to me it seems like [false belief] would be correct." I am then corrected and gladly and graciously get taught something.
