They truly are foolish

everyone judges. It’s not a “know it all” thing to do.

It comes from the same source of problem.

The worst type are the ones who know it's wrong and choose to think it's right -Snapple

Exactly

Everything you stated is true about a KIA's character. Pandering does not work. I do my best not to engage anymore. Let them be embarrassed when they encounter things they can't solve or understand.

Know-It-Alls need to get their asses kicked, because they rub people the wrong way.

I agree. I'm working with two know it alls. I stopped talking to them. I got tired of them talking over me. One has gotten worse since losing weight. I'm done ✔

Yeah, That narcissist who will never say, "I don't know", and doesn't understand "I don't know" is an actual answer.

What I have sadly discovered is most of the folks who fall within this category. Also tend to be classic textbook misery loves company type of folks. They block & are closed off to alternative outside of themselves solutions & info. And then due to the know it all'ism or inability to admit being wrong. Somehow they end up painting themselves as the victim while disregarding the basic fact that they are only victims of their own self inflicted problems & misery. That they usually seek to dump onto other ppl. They will drain the life right out of an empathetic person if you let them

Thats what I was thinking

Word…. I know a KIA who pretty much makes a fool of himself with virtually every third party friend group I introduce him to. After a while, I thought it better to just not introduce this KIA to my friends because ultimately it’ll make me look bad and drive them away.

Too true, and sadly they become some of the loneliest people out here.

Correct!

Oh yes I understand this

Absolutely! Or just outright aggressive.

My favorite getaway phrase is, 'Wow, I never thought of it that way!' Nod. Smile. Leave.

@@MsBizzyGurl That’s good-but hard for me to say without sounding snarky.

@@MsBizzyGurl my tactic is to do a long hmmm and nod in agreement and pause for a bit like im really mentally digesting their idea like im impressed with it - then bail.

I tend to ignore them. Or use action to call out their bullshit. But these types are so narcissistic that it never changes anything.

​@@MsBizzyGurl great advice😊

They’re woke

Yup. Can't have a normal conversation with them at all.

Seems like pretty woman with a nice body act like that

From your statement you are either in the struggle or struggling to get your voice heard

The bible signs of the last days people headstrong puff up with pride haughty

Ikr? Don’t know what universe this kat is coming from. He did say it only works on people with self awareness to be fair.

I should probably start to listen to others more and accept their ideas.

@@xyliahvortex661 Hey, I hope you know that you are a hero for saying this! Truth is I have known pretty well of the type of people that believes strongly in just themselves, never respect for OR consider others. This type of people is not quite fun to be around with if they are insistent and (sorry, like you said it) 'need to show they're superior' (they know everything). I say for my experiences but I am pretty sure in general nobody ever likes to deal with them as they are being not fun and uneasy (bad vibe) -- because as soon as they fall into the mode of 'my views only' and insisting on it, they will actually debate to death with you even if they are wrong as the fact is it too REAL. They seem like their lives will end if their are not being acknowledged. Sometimes I think these people have a crisis/problem and feel sorry they don't recognize it. Please keep on doing like you said (listen to others), because life is not about Us Knowing Everything but about accepting each other's differences, and seriously because we can't know everything (it is a Fact). Another reason is, we want to be open because say if certain times what we know is wrong, then we can let others improve us. When some people insist on their thoughts so bad that they believe what they know is right while in reality it is wrong, they're only embarrassing themselves and they don't know it. And this alone is making them dumb (how this makes you superior, right?)! But appearing humble, and not forcing people on your thoughts, you will always be sexy and attract people to interact with you

@@vivy8519 Thanks man.

@@xyliahvortex661 hey no worries, man!

@@xyliahvortex661 he a fruit loop.

You’re right. These obtuse self absorbed, presumptuous people have no self awareness. The best thing to do is shame them on it and it’s especially effective in the presence of other people. Ask me how I know…

Exactly! … and lose friends they do, constantly. They are some of the loneliest people around and sadly, some of them don’t even know why.

You check her or naw🤔

Yikes! Reminds me of someone I know! I hope she has changed her interpersonal skills by now.

Hoping you sacked her

Exactly ❤

Or how much they’ve accomplished

Fact

There’s the Dunning-Kruger Effect at play.

@PRIVATE I understand what you are saying and I like learning from others with expertise in a certain field. What it bothers me it’s when it is about tasks that even a child would know how to do - like peeling a potato. Before suggesting to me how to do a certain thing, please ask yourself: would a child know how to do this task? If the answer is yes, then please don’t suggest anything to me, even if I am doing it “wrong”. Also, there are multiple ways of doing a certain thing. For example, mom likes to put a certain ingredient in food and my mother in law hates to put that ingredient: are any of them wrong? No, they just like a certain way of doing things… Also: that person telling me to put water in the iron hasn’t even saw me iron, so she doesn’t know how I am ironing. She just “assumed” I am doing it wrong. That’s a big difference: seeing someone Actually doing something wrong vs just assuming the other person will do it wrong. Get it?

@PRIVATE You know, I think you are the type of person that people might generally trust, because you are open for discussions and listening to what bothers people and that is a great quality. I think I wouldn't mind if sometimes you would make suggestions if I can see that you are not doing it to be dominant, just to help.... I guess, there is a difference here. Some people are doing it just because they like to be dominant - and this type of person would not listen to other people's suggestions back and would never admit that they are wrong. You seem like you have a healthy level of consciousness.

Bingo bango. I’m like that too. I had some irrational nitwit that I know attempt to dismiss me when I was citing a fact in a helpful way. She told me she wasn’t going to argue with me (she is a bona fide Karen) So I switched strategies and informed her that it was because she didn’t have a valid argument to begin with.

I had a younger sibling* that ALWAYS judged things emotionally instead of logically. This 2as his straggly of always being right

Man same 🙄

Same with a sibling I was forced to live with

Hey you can do it! Learning assertiveness is a skill that will be useful for a lifetime

@@DreErdna thank you for this ! I can do this !

Keep in mind that you are not responsible for other people's feelings about your boundaries. Self-care comes first. Best wishes going forward

Have u gotten better ?

..

Sad but true

❤Yes! It is very common for four to six year olds, but by the time they are ten it should not be so prominent in their character.

EXACTLY! My mom CODDLED the youngest the most and she was always non HIS side . He grew thinking he was always right and always the victim. It my moms fault for raising him the way she did

True but see my sibling for 7 years younger STILL has aspect of that annoying 11 yr old who keeps bugging me. He should’ve grew out of it but never did. I blame my parents for not correcting him enough when he was younger,

Sometimes it's far better to be alone than to torture yourself dealing with someone like this

@@gerardt3284 That's true. I started spending more time on my own since I wrote this. Feeling much better!

Hope things r better

Lol

EXACTLY! My annoying younger sib RARELY got in trouble growing up. And now in his mid 20s, he thinks he’s the victim all the time

Clearly he has a huge inferiority complex. Most normal people would never react that way. What a loser, haha

It’s just that simple.

We (you and I) are very similar. But we are definitely know it alls, and people definitely see us that way.

I just want to say that I have encountered a few ppl on having anger and resentment towards them. But regardless of their interpretation, you broke it down perfectly ❤ On your closing comment you nailed it!! ❤❤Most ppl that I have encountered like this are usually bullied as a child, abused, or the middle child that had no “voice”.

So is mines

So is mine. And the fuck, feeling all great at all

😂

I know how difficult that can be. I ended a friendship of 17 years a couple years ago. It wasn't a clean break from his end, but anyway, I know how hard that is, I can only imagine the 35 year one. Take care of yourself.

I’m really sorry you let a friendship go

lee I know right haha

@@thisguyhere1 Exactly what I was thinking too.. sowehow person 1 and person 2 from the above comment don't seem all that different actually..

So perhaps it is you who is the know-it-all?

Ok know it all. Take your own advice🤣🤣🤣

Same

Try to chill bro

Yes!

Well apparently my mom knows when I’m hungry or tired even if I don’t 🤣🤣🤣it’s incurable!
