Pride will always get in the way of viewing new ideas with an open mind, it's hard to admit that you were wrong.

I just limit my time with them and avoid arguments… i just give them to be right and move on. You have to determine if it’s all really that important. If you want to prove them right and get “into the ring” with them… your going to have to spend energy… which could be used for other things that are probably more valuable then arguing with difficult individuals 😅

I hate people who always think they are right and dig their heels. My fiancé thinks he knows more than I do about everything. Even things that are for women such as nail polish he even thinks he knows more than I do about my own self and body. And when I try to prove it to him by googling it. He says he doesn’t believe in stuff on the net. Even if it’s from a reliable source. He won’t believe it simply because it proves he is wrong.
I told him I need to buy a new nail polish because mine is old and sticky. He then told me I never take care of my things that’s why it’s no good anymore. I told him that nail polish expires. It’s made out of solvents that eventually evaporate causing it to get sticky. He argued with me saying I’m like a child who can’t take care of her things. He always puts me down. love your video and thank you for your helpful tip. However I don’t think my relationship with him is worth it. I’m starting to really dislike him now. I hate him.

There’s a difference between pride/arrogance and truth/correctness. Sometimes people are flat out wrong and need to be told so for the better. It’s also often the case that those who most need advise least want to hear it. There is a balance between reality and harm prevention that derives from delivery.

My mother blames me for my little sister who has trouble controlling her emotions, the way my sister throws tantrums when some1 says no or your not getting your way but then I'm the one who gets blamed for the reaction my sister has because I upset her. I'm sick and tired of dealing with it on a regular basis and I honestly have trouble controlling my emotions myself knowing it's not always my fault but I always get the blame for my siblings tantrums. But I'm trying to always keep my cool but it gets tough. The other day I lost my cool and yelled you always blame me for my sisters behaviour whens it's not me doing it, my mother responds ur wrong and I called her out on and said "you always have to be right, you never think your wrong" ofc she denys it but because it's my mother I have to shut up and accept it cause at the end of the day I was in quotes "talking back" and it's apparently disrespectful. I hate that because it's ur parents and u live under their roof you just have to accept whatever they say. Makes me want to move out asap when I'm older.

That sounds like my Aunt. I can't spend more than a day maximum around her. She is ALWAYS right, doesn't matter if we point her to 50 science-based sources that prove she is wrong, she is still right. I like to be right when I KNOW I am right by showing information that backs up my claim.

[Thebuffestgal]

I always felt like I need to be right but I'm working on it cause the most important thing to me is to make others feel good, but I know someone who always wants to right and it's exhausting

I have a friend like this. The reason I'm not like him is because I've been wrong so many times in the past that I have no pride left to lose, I'm always open to being corrected on anything, and I want to find deeper truth, not to just be right. I often represent both sides in an argument, so if I make a shitty argument for my position I will point that flaw out. But this friend of mine still has that need to be right, and it's so fucking tiring to deal with. I started just walking away from conversations when it happens.

What if they’re also trying to give you advice and talk to you like your a child even though they’re the same age as you?

[SPFAN]

I’m able to see where other people are coming from and I tell them I see their pov and often that’s where it ends. Almost always people don’t do the same for me.

We are all very heavily-conditioned from early childhood to internalize that to be wrong/make a mistake equates to being a "bad" person.

[seabeach]

I avoid them. It a push and pull relationship. To much wasted energy. Run

[elharrop]

Sounds like a good temporary solution but not sure if it's going to encourage more narcissistic behaviours in the future.

Got a lot of great tips! Thank you so much for the information! ♥♥♥

I’ve tried that approach and it didn’t work for me. Telling someone that their approach is right or would work along with complementing them on their talent and ideas. Even pretending to be engaged in their hobbies. I’m talking about a parent of mine. But as happy as they are being complemented or agreed with, the very next time I try to offer any different opinion on anything it instantly turns into me trying to calm them down while they list my shortcomings. And when I try to continue the discussion instead of backing down it turns into threats. One disagreement led to us barely speaking for nearly 6 years. He has no issue of cutting ties until I agree with him. Is he a sociopath?

Sigh.. I had a boss like this. I eventually quit. She was also a control freak who had to be the smartest person in the room. She got annoyed and passive-aggressive when people learned quick. People like this are never going to grow or elevate. This is probably rooted in deep childhood issues. They equate being wrong as serious character defect of some sort. Perhaps they were ostracized as a child when they made mistakes from a parent.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS IT HELPED ME SO MUCH 😅😅😅

[sentientmeat]

Me being here cuz my brother's is being supper annoying with always trying to be right and i cant communicate with him

[elliottkolker]

You have never met my Ex. We had years of various couple's counseling. She retreated into Zen Buddhism and was able to weaponize meditation by claiming I had no right to comment on her meditation, despite it being overwhelmingly about how wrong I always was...unless I agreed with her. You may think I am exaggerating. "Not in a statistically significant manner, " in my experoience.

A Lot of people will get confirmation they are right even when they are dead wrong then you have more conflict
