I don't care anymore, if it comes from their insecurities. They need to fix their insecurities instead of gaslighting and doing this. You cannot get through to some of these people, and pandering to them just inflates their ego and makes them continue doing it. Talk to them - but as you said, they're poor listeners who think of their response instead of listening. I've done the whole pandering to them - it made them worse. No, never an apology. Never an admission they were wrong. Just bulldozing. My offspring's confidence is my issue to help with, but other adults? No. It's not up to me or anyone to sort them out.

The worst type of know it alls are the ones that think they know people and who they are, and they judge them.

I’m dealing with people who are struggling for power by thinking they know it all...lol😂😂No matter what you say or do...they know how to handle it better than you, they got all the answers, they just know😂🤣

Unfortunately, know it all people can't win people's heart in the long run.They might impress people in the beginning, but after some time this behavior becomes unbearable for people who get to know them better.

Know-it-alls tend to have a streak of narcissism. If I can, I would smile, say "thanks" then disengage as quickly as possible or find a way out of that situation pronto.

[sonialilly]

They can also be passive aggressive willing to attack if they have to.

[nancydrew]

Basically avoid know it alls, they lack the ability to " read others", they lack empathy for others, they are narcissistic and their sole goal is to feed their ego at your expense... Just Run! It's not your job to fix what you haven't broken. Hopefully you don't have a know-it-all boss, if so look for another job. If it's a coworker...Feed them.with a long handled spoon!

This is a reality check for me. I've always thought that my self esteem was high but I kept feeling the need to show off and prove that I'm superior. I also think about what to say next instead of listening to the other person.

I am glad I found this video. I am having difficulties with passive aggressive behavior in response to my know-it-all co-worker. She is a nice person, I think, but driving me crazy. Been at the job 6 months, I was on her hiring committee, and she constantly questions everything I tell her, tells me everything she thinks I am doing or have done wrong, and then proceeds to belittle me in front of others. It's actually infuriating. When I address the behavior, she acts totally apologetic and then proceeds to continue the behavior. I am about to blow up at her and I consider myself a pretty calm and respectful person. I'm about ready to quit, it's so bad.

If someone believes that they know more than all of their peers, they close the door to gaining more knowledge. We are all equal. Equal as in, we all have different experiences. We all have a unique knowledge, unique to each individual, which no one else truly knows. Therefore we can all learn from one another!

I know a lot of people who think they know everything and are better than everyone else. It is frustrating that there are so many people like that out there

[coldblizzard]

This is my brother. I’m currently in a medical situation and here he comes telling me what I should and shouldn’t do. Funny enough…he never came with me to appointments either, so what does he know. He stays getting facts wrong.

I agree with SKOLAH. There are so many people who behave this way, and they do not care or think about how annoying and exaspersting. Why do we always have to cater or excuse to the ones who need to check themselves? What we should do is show how annoyed we are and express it however we want. That usually shocks people into looking at their behavior.

One time, a person told me to not forget to put water in the iron when I am ironing. I was 27 at the time with 10+ years of ironing experience. Gee.. thanks. I never thought of putting water in the iron.(being ironic)
These are the most annoying. Telling you how to do the most basic things that even a child could figure out, just by assuming, not by watching you do things. It’s so insulting.
For example: telling you how to peel an orange when you are in your 30s.

I've admitted I'm wrong when it has been shown I'm wrong, but 99% of the time when I get into a conversation with family and friends about something I know I'm not wrong and can see a lack of logic and reason in their arguments, LOL! It's equally frustrating to have someone accusing you of being a know it all when you are just being correct about something because you're allying logic and reason and not getting emotional. There's a fine line between being a know it all and someone who has gained wisdom and the ability to engage in rational discussion without being lead by emotion.

[juggalogamer]

Exactly anybody that has to brag about how much they know obviously there's a big insecurity you're hiding

[cycleSCUBA]

It's the know it all who talks constantly and never gives others an opportunity to speak that is the frustration. They can see someone wants to correct them but their tactic us to keep talking - to the point of changing the subject - in order to deny someone correcting them and risk their humiliation! Often they'll talk louder and louder if someone else tries to talk over them. People like this are prepared to lose friends rather than be corrected.

My brother is a know it all, he is an expert in cooking complex dishes, he is an engineer, he has 100 years driver experience, he knows the law better than a lawyer, he is a doctor, he is an expert fisherman... he would never take an advice or listen to anybody not even us his brother and sister. He knows everything and he would blame it to someone or something if things did not go the way he wants it.

[jazminerenee]

Thank you for this. I just have a difficult time setting my boundaries i don’t know why. I’m like crying right now because I’m just really angry at myself for not having this skill. And I didn’t know there are a lot of people like this and it makes me angry. I’m a bubbly person so people can take that as weakness. So I go home crying at night

[jayjay-bzrr]

I had a co worker who thought he knew everything.
To make things worse, he was bigger and stronger than me.
I’m glad he’s employed elsewhere
