Is it bad to agree and change your mind during an argument?

In my culture, it seems that people are supposed to stand for their argument until the end. If you change your mind during an argument, it means that you don’t have any self-respect and you don’t deserve respect. As a result, people are expected to try to defend their point for as long as possible. There are very few instances when someone manages to convince someone else to their point.

I feel like I change my mind so quickly. I can easy see the point of other people and change. When I was in high school, I had a group project and my classmates were discussing some activities to put in the project. One classmate suggested something that I thought was good, so I agreed. Then another classmate suggested something contradictory that I felt was also good, so I agreed. Then someone asked me what was wrong with me, I had just agreed to two contradictory things.

I thought it was just because I was a dumb teenager, and I would grow out of it. But no, this tendency has continued to my adulthood. Sometimes I feel so ashamed of myself for changing my mind so quickly. What is wrong with me?
