>People will trust you and I haven't found too many people that can't understand an honest mistake.

Just be aware, if someone says "hey you did something wrong that upset me". Sit back and listen, don't get defensive about what you're going to hear. If you acknowledge your actions lead to what happened, whether it was small or a large part, have the self-awareness of that things you do may upset other people. If you decide to double down and not admit fault because you feel your perfect in every category, don't be surprised when coworkers alienate you or ask to not talk to them about anything.

I usually do this sometimes, but it's usually after the fact once I've pitched it and who makes the decisions has already made up their mind and doesn't want to change anything. Mostly because they don't want to care about the benefits or consequences of the decision made, they just want a decision made.
