Also props to you for being able to acknowledge this in front of yourself and others, takes courage, strength and intelligence i believe. Keep going down this road, I'm sure it attracts your own respect as well as that of others.
Most people I have met are like this. That's why I like being alone. Social gatherings are difficult because everyone seems to need to be the smartest in the room. As a result, people begin to talk over each other, interrupt, correct each other, brag, etc. What this causes is an increased volume level in their voices. Quite frankly, it usually ends up being a loud and chaotic sh!t show and my ears start bleeding.
I’m at an age where I have had to disengage from a person who may be nice but talks so much and knows it all. It’s psychological torture and I just can’t put myself in second place anymore, I don’t care who hates me for it.
Agreed. I’m dealing with this right now. Even the slightest little comments i make i am WRONG. So I’m slowly just cutting them out of my life. It’s draining and if i try to express my frustration they just shift the blame on me and try to gaslight me into thinking I’m misinterpreting them. It’s sad really but i can’t deal with the emotional drain.
I didn't engage but my teachers did, and it was second-handedly irritating to witnesss whilst they got praised without knowing that most of them are insecure.
I had just said out loud to myself "It's tiresome" when they were talking about letting them talk and not giving your opinion. I've found some people will Never listen to your opinion, because they are too Stubborn to believe they could be wrong. I also realized They lose out in this. They aren't able to have group discussions, which means they will never learn from the intelligence of people around them. Instead of knowledge and growth, they stay stuck in the same mindset.
Oh boy can I relate to this!! I recently had to slam the brakes on a know it all co-worker. Your descriptions fit perfectly and your tips are well meaning. Unfortunately I was going through a very stressful time in my life and just could not bear it any longer; I asked her to leave me alone please. And she has. She's angry but I have peace at last.
That's the thing, sometimes it gets to be too much and you just can take anymore of it. And they don't get subtle hints, you usually have to be very blunt with these people.
Thanks for this comment. I wondered how you can get away with doing this to a co-worker yet my know-it-all is only an acquaintance. I really have NOTHING to lose by simply confronting him. Except maybe him being upset with me or denying it, which i'm ok with LOL
I have no intention of arguing with somebody who is the equivalent of a brick wall. The attempted conversation will go absolutely nowhere and it’ll just end up in a blowup argument and things will be said and done that will be regrettable. There’s no talking to these people. I have better things to do with my time.
My friend is notoriously know-it-all-istic. He don’t know how to have a relaxed dialogue, it always has to be intense and he’s knows everything. His favorite word is “actually”. Actually but.. actually that’s not correct… actually it’s that not this..
One of the biggest mistakes in my upbringing was how I was taught to be understanding and empathetic to the egotistical delusions of another. I say, give a "know-it-all" no quarter. If this know-it-all holds no real power over you, DO NOT give them a millimeter of ground. Don't say "I understand" or "I see where you're coming from"... No, it's time for the (metaphorical) full attack. Do not hold back; do not consider their feelings--for they care nothing for yours. Destroy their ego, as they wish to destroy yours with their own hubris. The creator of this video is far too kind toward these lecherous and predatory creatures.
My mom is one and she gets VERY competitive with other know it alls. Going on the offense and calling them know it alls and everything. Recently she told me that she knows my hair better than I do( she’s never had long hair in her life), she knows what food I like and don’t better than me, and she knows whats wrong with my husband’s legs. When I told her that I know for a fact that what she said was wrong with his legs wasn’t it, she started telling me “ok doctor “ when he hadn’t even mentioned his problem to her. But she knows better than both of us what it is.
personally i don't think empathy works with a know it all - they take that as weakness. shut them down and shut them out and make it personal, ie, i wasn't talking to you but thanks anyway
The worst ones are the ones who are right a lot of the time. Makes it even more annoying LOL I know it's comforting to think know-it-alls are all wrong most of the time but some are smart and will often be right....it's their arrogance that's annoying.
The sad thing about a know it all is that a lot of people end up using them. Because they’re not pleasant to be around so people put up with them as long as they are useful
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
One of my girlfriends introduced me to this know it all and she is probably the most annoying person I’ve ever met. This new girl gives unsolicited advice about everything. A friend shared a personal story and she had an answer for it! She always says things like yeah, that’s why you should do this or that.. She’s a very sweet girl, but she tries to act smarter than all of us. She has zero interest in getting to know any of us. The only benefit in keeping her around has nothing to do with her
I knew this guy,a friend of a friend...dude was 15 years my junior,yet he knew EVERYTHING! Oh everyone knows that! Every time I said ANYTHING he had to add something! I got sick enough of listening to him,I left...I'm not a squatter at someone else's house,I have my own home! But he actually asked me to borrow both my car and truck and then asked if he could put his camper on my property to live in! Not in this lifetime.
Ugh I worked in a medical facility and a girl was having a panic attack and I said “it won’t kill you” and a coworker says “actually…” I cut her off. Don’t say ignorant shit to my patient.
had to quit talking to a long time freind as his know it all bull was too much to even let in my ear anymore.anything I would say he had a dumb solution which made no sense but to him.whayever it was he had a better way.meanwhile his situation he couldn't fix over 50 years!!!sad to say the least.
For example I had a friend I listen to for 90 days straight and I never said a word and all of a sudden I said one thing that I knew about and he thought I was a nodal
No. Jordan Peterson actually IS well educated. He was literally a Harvard professor. Citing correct facts and communicating legit information does not make you a know it all. A know it all pulls random nonesense out of their butt because they are too uneducated to know the difference between facts and feelings. People with gifted IQs usually know what their talking about, but keep living in delulu land…
*le sigh* This is one thing that I hate about myself. I always give unsolicited advice, say things like "I knew it!" and "I know that" wayy to often. Sometimes I look down at others just because they're not as "good" as me at something, but sometimes I just want to share my experiences and help.
Every one tells me I am a know it all, but I feel like every one has that trait, they just won’t admit it, I feel like I do have it but, those traits are actions I’m not saying the actions are wrong or right but I feel like in some situations we all have that
Ben Shapiro has a genius level I. q. and is impeccably educated. Pretty sure he would know better what he’s talking about. If he didn’t know what he was talking about and wasn’t standing on literal facts but just pulling stuff out of his butt, then he’d be a know it all.
3rd grader. Mike who told you that answer on your homework? My brother he in the seventh grade.How long did it take him to get there. All of his life. He has been going to school for eleven years so I guess he knows about everything.😒😁
Well you know how we got to be know it all just shut mouth shut and our ears open for a lot of our lives and absorb things from those of us around us knew a lot more than we did at the time Dumb people would learn a little bit humility and realize how a knowledgeable they aren’t maybe they could have more knowledge
A friend always tries to jump to a conclusion before I make my point ...assumes he knows where I'm going with the subject..and gives unrelated minutiae constantly . He overexplains common sense garbage to me. I can't get to the point I'm making...and he doesn't get facetious questions or sarcasm. Yes..at times I feel he must believe everybody is stupid and needs his help.
The difaniton of a know it all is first thing he knows your stupid if you think he is a know it all. A know it all knows no one knows it all but since everybody is stupid he could say duh and everyone thinks he's showing off. Now you think dirt is stupid because you walk all over it but where would you be without it. That should keep the world trying to figure that out for eternity.
My stepdad reads a lot of internet articles. Just general random topics. I call him an "Article Expert." He is always so quick to jump in with his 2 cents about anything. Say you want a specific food or drink? Without missing a beat he'll say "your body is craving *insert ingredient or chemical component in that item.* Literally every time. He's even said "I read a lot because I like to know things." I'm less than half his age and have already accepted that I know basically nothing. And anything I know about, I only know a fraction of all there is to know about it. I can hear someone talk about WW2 firearms and not feel the need to throw in what I know unless they specifically say "I wonder what _______." I just can't stand when people read an article which is basically a summary of a topic and then feel like an encyclopedia. Plus, a lot of the things he's said, I've fact checked and they're just plain wrong. Told me submarines don't have white lights, only red. I asked my friend who is a submariner if that's the case and she said that's ridiculous. "Who's gonna see the light from us eating pizza in a sub 100 feet underwater in the middle of the ocean?" Is what she said. I mentioned the night vision that you retain with red lights and she brought up again, they're stuck in there. It's very rare to have red lights. I went back to my stepdad and told him, and says "You really went through all that to prove me wrong hahaha? " It's best to keep your mouth shut and look stupid than to open it and prove it. That's a good thing to keep in mind.
My father in law is the same. Im turning my life goal to just prove him wrong. That's probably why he keeps doing what his doing. I just love to prove him wrong when Im not in a good mood. But most of the time, I don't even care.
I have a known acquaintance that doesn't take anyone else's advice, once he is proven wrong by what he says, believes, or does....he then quickly reverts to what I said, but faintly remembers that it was an advice given to him in the first place
I know a lot of people like that and it's frustrating but at the same time sometimes I think that I'm being that way I'm like wait a minute I didn't mean to be like that but it really weird because merely saying one thing that you might really know all the sudden makes them think you're a know-it-all and it's a very tricky situation
I agree. I experience this at work, more often than I’d like to admit. The thing is, I’m well-traveled (I’m bicultural & biracial). I’ve worked every kind of random position bc I just end up learning so much about the world holistically that way. And I was given an amazing opportunity to manage a drive thru coffee shop, with intentions to open a 2nd location. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm and high self-standards, and prior experience working in corporate Japan translated into being a know-it-all.
These people are so stuck on being right that when you change topics or try to explain to them that you’re trying to assist them they will still insist that you’re wrong whether you’re just saying you’re trying to help them or not best thing just tell them that you have more important things to do right now they will either find somebody else to try to lured over or don’t grow up and understand they had a real friendship that they’re screwing up and try and fix it
Try a KIA who always has an opinion, “advice”, or analysis for everything, but is an adult living with his parents, college drop out, and doesn’t hold a real job.
Very often, people who simply share information are labeled as know it alls by insecure people. Important to make that distinction. I think this video is describing rude, manipulative and overbearing people.
I have an uncle who has this type of trait, and it is REAL BAD! but it is best to ignore the false facts and rumors they blabber on and on about. And don't worry about the random events they try to predict.
This reminds me of the same ego complex people have when they take a hyper progressive stance and want to just demean everybody and prove them wrong because they have the "superior" philosophy
A know it all is one who knows more than you and no one can know it all so there is no such thing. You were born then quickly learn to breath then pee then eat not professionally to begin with. While some never learn much more than that first day some progress to where they can by 40 to take care of themselves. Only one who knows it all is admitting he knows nothing. Now you say he thinks he knows it all which means he knows there are others that know more than he does. Does his knowing more about something make you less in any way. No because i bet you know more about a lot of other things he doesn't have a clue about. Let him know thanks you didn't know and you appreciate the info. You just won a friend for life. If someone tells you something let them understand it there way unless you can see someone being harmed by this info. Give your view about how you understand or handel and say thanks for the input. Another friend.
My opinion about this particular vid (i loved your other one about KIA btw) is that it does not take into consideration the affect the KIA has on a spouse or partner. You can initially fall in love with a KIA cos he will be on his best behaviour but slowly his true colours will come out and like narcissists they can be very controlling and emotionally abusive. Noone wants to be treated like an idiot. Their behaviour has a strong negative impact on their partners cos its hidden. They guilt people when someone doesnt accept their controlling ways or doesnt tolerate being corrected. They like to look good in public so they act all friendly and charming and they mask their KIA ways. They wont correct strangers usually they wait until they find the right time that suits them to desplay their self imposed superiority. If i were to follow some of your suggestions, i would become a fully fledged victim of emotional abuse. Im not giving in to this abnoxious, self serving, arrogant, conceited, insensitive baboon. Doing that would be like staying in a physically violent relationship and saying you will just roll with the punches. No way. I refuse to be his victim, he plays the victim well enough himself. Those of us who know or are involved with a KIA really need to rebuild ourselves back up and just not put up with their nonsence anymore.
my ex is one and we talk occasionally. Usually when it’s my turn to speak about something I find interesting, he tries to rebuttal by saying comments like “ I wouldn’t waste my time on that because ….. blah blah blah”. I just laugh and say “ I don’t mind wasting my time”. That usually shuts him up
These suggestions are healthy and empathetic. I also think they mollycoddle know-it-alls to a certain extent. What's better for a know-it-all than a good public shaming? Nothing, I say. This video didn't promise any cures or silver bullets for know-it-alls so it's not really fair for me to be disappointed. I was looking for ways to shut know-it-alls down so they stop going on and on like they're the only one that matters. I wanted a know-it-all kill shot. I'm okay being shallow like that. ;)
Me too. If they catch me when I’m weak I get really shallow. I give them the business and goodness help them if anybody else is around. Unless it’s a customer of course. My boss would fire me🤣🤣🤣. And when you enlighten them on their total and complete lack of self awareness, they accuse you of being a know it all.
I used to be a know it all but thank God I'm healing. I watch myself and I'm happy to see how I've changed for the better. So liberating.
Also props to you for being able to acknowledge this in front of yourself and others, takes courage, strength and intelligence i believe. Keep going down this road, I'm sure it attracts your own respect as well as that of others.
literally so embarrassing now
Don't fool yourself. You're probably still a know-it-all. Believe me, I know. LOL
@@williamcastilla1963 I see what u did there u were acting like a know it all in your comment
Yes so liberating to let stupid people around you think their smart
Most people I have met are like this. That's why I like being alone. Social gatherings are difficult because everyone seems to need to be the smartest in the room. As a result, people begin to talk over each other, interrupt, correct each other, brag, etc. What this causes is an increased volume level in their voices. Quite frankly, it usually ends up being a loud and chaotic sh!t show and my ears start bleeding.
So true so sad. That's why I stay to myself
On the other hand, you guys shouldn't stay like that. What if on certain cases you need to engage? Nah
@@rockyraccoon3630 i mean engage into a conversation, getting invited into social gathering, not being awkward
@@glennhonestly6600 honestly i think it’s just that i’m drained and i have introversion. i guess we shouldn’t try to go out of our boundaries
LOUD AN PROUD IF U CANT B RIGHT AT LEAST B LOUD U HEAR EM B 4 U C THEM LOUDEST PLP AN BIG TALKERS 😂😢😮😅 ATTN INSECURE SEEKERS
Don’t engage, don’t give the attention, don’t be his or her audience.
I’m at an age where I have had to disengage from a person who may be nice but talks so much and knows it all. It’s psychological torture and I just can’t put myself in second place anymore, I don’t care who hates me for it.
Agreed. I’m dealing with this right now. Even the slightest little comments i make i am WRONG. So I’m slowly just cutting them out of my life.

Just Run From Them lol! RUN!!
I try to do this but again I feel sorry for them .If they don't show off their knowledge how vl they survive..I really feel pity
Having to coddle these adult babies is extremely draining.
never play that game. state what they're like directly to them - stay calm, just point it out and move on LOL
I had just said out loud to myself "It's tiresome" when they were talking about letting them talk and not giving your opinion.

they stay stuck in the same mindset.
What annoys me the most is when they correct us, we all make mistakes, is completely normal, but it seems that they don't ser that.
The rub is they usually don’t know what they’re talking about.

Dunning kruger effect

It's true. Had to learn this the hard way. Best bet is to just save your energy and establish boundaries.
I agree, 💯%
so true
LIMIT CONTACT!!!! THAT'S ALL.
True.
A lot of people hate to see a know it all coming, they are inventors of a headaches.

The problem isn't in the know it all, the problem is in the people who keep encouraging to do that behavior.
Exactly, some of these people are unjustifiably praised
The worst ones are the ones who are right a lot of the time. Makes it even more annoying LOL
I know it's comforting to think know-it-alls are all wrong most of the time but some are smart and will often be right....it's their arrogance that's annoying.
I have learned not to engage this type of person except on the most superficial level. My state of mind is thus much improved!
The sad thing about a know it all is that a lot of people end up using them. Because they’re not pleasant to be around so people put up with them as long as they are useful
They may tire out, but they won’t realize that they don’t know everything. Make them realize they don’t know everything.
Know it Alls Need a lot of Attention by Any means Necessary........Boundaries are important...
These kinds of people are so narcissistic. Myself I cannot stand to be around them
They also make up random sounds to drown out the facts when they are afraid of something exposing their personalities.
My brother 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have no time to be understanding for a know it as they have no understanding for me. The door swings both ways in life..
Narcs are so annoying I want to do some very bad things when I'm around them.
Very helpful...as I am surrounded by such people all over
1 Corinthians 15:1-4

I used to know everything but i had to forget half of what I know so I could fit in more information. Didnt want to get the big head.lol 😄
Band I was in had a person just like this..... spot on
Whenever I have to straighten out a know it all, the get mad and defensive and accuse me of being a know it all.
Even when I’m wrong I’m right
Sometimes it's good to shoot their eagle with kindness in other words kill them with kindness then they start to see the other side of themselves
I hate when my brother thinks he knows everything🤒im sick of him bru...and you're right about everything.he does everything you said

My father in law is the same. Im turning my life goal to just prove him wrong. That's probably why he keeps doing what his doing. I just love to prove him wrong when Im not in a good mood. But most of the time, I don't even care.
I have a known acquaintance that doesn't take anyone else's advice, once he is proven wrong by what he says, believes, or does....he then quickly reverts to what I said, but faintly remembers that it was an advice given to him in the first place
I have a fellow girlfriend who “mansplains”. It gets sooo old.
I know a lot of people like that and it's frustrating but at the same time sometimes I think that I'm being that way I'm like wait a minute I didn't mean to be like that but it really weird because merely saying one thing that you might really know all the sudden makes them think you're a know-it-all and it's a very tricky situation
I agree. I experience this at work, more often than I’d like to admit. The thing is, I’m well-traveled (I’m bicultural & biracial). I’ve worked every kind of random position bc I just end up learning so much about the world holistically that way. And I was given an amazing opportunity to manage a drive thru coffee shop, with intentions to open a 2nd location. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm and high self-standards, and prior experience working in corporate Japan translated into being a know-it-all.
Yes, I kinda feel the same. Or you just didn't mean to sound it in this way but the other person may take it as a negative thing. It sucks.
This advice basically is saying be their doormat
The only time it’s annoying is when the “know it all” is wrong and doesn’t know what their talking about.
Which is overwhelmingly the case…
That seems to happen Alot.
These people are so stuck on being right that when you change topics or try to explain to them that you’re trying to assist them they will still insist that you’re wrong whether you’re just saying you’re trying to help them or not best thing just tell them that you have more important things to do right now they will either find somebody else to try to lured over or don’t grow up and understand they had a real friendship that they’re screwing up and try and fix it
Try a KIA who always has an opinion, “advice”, or analysis for everything, but is an adult living with his parents, college drop out, and doesn’t hold a real job.
Listen, To spare everyone feelings. I'm not gonna pretend like I know everything, but I know you're wrong. just saying.
Very often, people who simply share information are labeled as know it alls by insecure people. Important to make that distinction. I think this video is describing rude, manipulative and overbearing people.
what if its a family member. 😩
I have an uncle who has this type of trait, and it is REAL BAD! but it is best to ignore the false facts and rumors they blabber on and on about. And don't worry about the random events they try to predict.
This reminds me of the same ego complex people have when they take a hyper progressive stance and want to just demean everybody and prove them wrong because they have the "superior" philosophy
Bingo
A know it all is one who knows more than you and no one can know it all so there is no such thing. You were born then quickly learn to breath then pee then eat not professionally to begin with. While some never learn much more than that first day some progress to where they can by 40 to take care of themselves. Only one who knows it all is admitting he knows nothing. Now you say he thinks he knows it all which means he knows there are others that know more than he does. Does his knowing more about something make you less in any way. No because i bet you know more about a lot of other things he doesn't have a clue about. Let him know thanks you didn't know and you appreciate the info. You just won a friend for life. If someone tells you something let them understand it there way unless you can see someone being harmed by this info. Give your view about how you understand or handel and say thanks for the input. Another friend.
My opinion about this particular vid (i loved your other one about KIA btw) is that it does not take into consideration the affect the KIA has on a spouse or partner. You can initially fall in love with a KIA cos he will be on his best behaviour but slowly his true colours will come out and like narcissists they can be very controlling and emotionally abusive. Noone wants to be treated like an idiot.
Their behaviour has a strong negative impact on their partners cos its hidden. They guilt people when someone doesnt accept their controlling ways or doesnt tolerate being corrected. They like to look good in public so they act all friendly and charming and they mask their KIA ways. They wont correct strangers usually they wait until they find the right time that suits them to desplay their self imposed superiority.
If i were to follow some of your suggestions, i would become a fully fledged victim of emotional abuse. Im not giving in to this abnoxious, self serving, arrogant, conceited, insensitive baboon. Doing that would be like staying in a physically violent relationship and saying you will just roll with the punches. No way. I refuse to be his victim, he plays the victim well enough himself. Those of us who know or are involved with a KIA really need to rebuild ourselves back up and just not put up with their nonsence anymore.
my ex is one and we talk occasionally. Usually when it’s my turn to speak about something I find interesting, he tries to rebuttal by saying comments like “ I wouldn’t waste my time on that because ….. blah blah blah”. I just laugh and say “ I don’t mind wasting my time”. That usually shuts him up
best way to deal with them is ask them what you already know
Thanks for your comment
Smart. 👍
These suggestions are healthy and empathetic. I also think they mollycoddle know-it-alls to a certain extent. What's better for a know-it-all than a good public shaming? Nothing, I say. This video didn't promise any cures or silver bullets for know-it-alls so it's not really fair for me to be disappointed. I was looking for ways to shut know-it-alls down so they stop going on and on like they're the only one that matters. I wanted a know-it-all kill shot. I'm okay being shallow like that. ;)
Me too. If they catch me when I’m weak I get really shallow. I give them the business and goodness help them if anybody else is around. Unless it’s a customer of course. My boss would fire me🤣🤣🤣. And when you enlighten them on their total and complete lack of self awareness, they accuse you of being a know it all.
I’m the I know it all type, I’m trying to change.
me too :(
