Become more vulnerable, let your guard down, show your faults and you become more liberated in being exactly who you are, without the concern of what others think. I found that people connect and appreciate you more when they see your mistakes while you own it or point it out.

The reason why people do like this is because it reassures them that you are both one in the same. We all mess up our speech when talking to others, have incorrect statements, make mistakes that we knew we shouldn't of had made, and the list can go on for days I am sure. When we see this and the other person owning it, it will confirm that we are not lying to each other, we are being honest, and we are not perfect. This continues to open up and allow both or all parties to let there guard down, open up, be vulnerable, be yourself, and thus creating a super great connection.
