The worst type of know it alls are the ones that think they know people and who they are, and they judge them.
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
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.
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
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!
Praising them just feeds the beast!
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.
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.
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.
They can also be passive aggressive willing to attack if they have to.
Correct!
Oh yes I understand this
Absolutely! Or just outright aggressive.
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.
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😊
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😂🤣
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
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!
Fact
There’s the Dunning-Kruger Effect at play.
💯
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.
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…
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.
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 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.
The cherry on top is when someone cant acknowledge theyre wrong and there is a reason why they are "wrong" and its actually someone elses fault. We are a world of no accountability
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
Some people you just can't talk to
This would be a Narcissist trait so trying to tell them these things probably won't work, in one ear and out the other
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.
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 anybody that has to brag about how much they know obviously there's a big insecurity you're hiding
Exactly ❤
Or how much they’ve accomplished
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.
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.
SPOT ON. Friendship doesn’t last long with these people. No matter how kind you are to them, they treat you with disregard like as if you are a stranger the next day. They have no awareness whatsoever. Steer clear of these people.
I worked with a Know It All who even acted like she knew me but had absolutely no similarities, in looks or personality. She was in a position above mine & older while I was in my last year of college had completely different life experiences, so I'm guessing she felt threatened or wanted to feel threatened. ..very scary psychopath personality traits.
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.
How did you manage to perfectly describe the guy I'm forced to be living with, Thank you!!!!
Man same 🙄
Same with a sibling I was forced to live with
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.
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
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
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
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 ?
..
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.
@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.
My know-it-all recently insisted to me that anger and resentment were completely different things. I just ignored it, but thought to myself, "Well, maybe...because anger is what im feeling towards you right now, and resentment is what I've felt towards you since yesterday." These people are the worst. He wants to be teacher, counselor, and priest all at once. The worst part for him is, as he attempts to make himself look better with his words, we are all judging him by his actions. He is not as wonderful as he thinks and it shows. I appreciate this video because I know I need to develop empathy, but also I need ways to address it when it comes up because, like I said, I'm getting very resentful and I don't want to hurt the guy, but dang, it's coming if I don't get a grip. I know for a fact he was bullied as a child. 😏
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”.
There was one in my class, I remember telling him I do not know this thing and then he started saying things like I'm an idiot who always shows off and doesn't even know this, after that, I never talked to him, I remember him completing full thermodynamics exam with 90% marks but didn't even know that energy cannot be created out of thin air, was always a teacher's pet and such, Just clearly shows how bad our education system is
Clearly he has a huge inferiority complex. Most normal people would never react that way. What a loser, haha
Gosh im dealing this a friend thats a know it all, lately ive been distancing myself cause i thought i was the problem then i stumbled across your video and you described the kind of person she is
Sir, you described my boss in the first two minutes, thank you so much for the advice
Hope things r better
Lol
Thank you so much you saved my job and my coworkers nose!!!!
I believe I'm one of those that he says that is thinking about what to say next instead of listening. I would love to train myself to listen more than talking ahead of someone. I do believe it has to do with being bipolar and my brain works in a different way where it's constantly thinking about different things all the time and before I lose my train of thought I have to get everything out at once and that keeps me from listening to the other person. I like this video but it talks about people kind of like me. And I do think I'm a little bit of a know-it-all but I'm not doing it to show off my superiority but to be so helpful. I love helping people and I get excited by being able to know what to do for them but I think I do too much. Thanks for this video
We (you and I) are very similar. But we are definitely know it alls, and people definitely see us that way.
I have an acquaintance who's exactly like this. I started spending more time with him during the pandemic because I had no one else, but he's driving me crazy. I struggle with anxiety and his behavior just sets me off. I can't deal with him anymore. I'll try to have a normal conversation with him, but it very quickly becomes a pissing contest of him showing off that he knows more than me about any particular subject.
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!
This is of value to me ! I have done this kind of behavior and have experienced this from others as well. It’s good to be reminded of not be a know it all and to deal with those who practice this ! Thank you for sharing this.
I know a guy who always has to interrupt and shout other people down. His brother is the same or even ruder. I guess it was the way they were brought up; no respect for others and no "people skills".
The mind boggles at what it must have been like around the dinner table when they were teenagers.
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
Be open to the idea that you may also be the know-it-all at times. I had an issue with a fellow workmate, which made me forget that I also tend to get carried away with things, especially after 5 coffees 🤣 ...Once that person left the department years later, I found myself asserting my opinion in things that didn't concern me. Maybe I admired the know-it-all in a way due to my own insecurities, so I started to take on their traits! 🤔
There is a saying that goes, "You can't fix stupid". Well, I'm going to add one more to that. "You can't fix KNOW-IT-ALL person".
This is deeply rooted ego problem, that comes from childhood, and manifest itself during adult life. Some are even born with it and you can see it at very early age.
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,
My father is the worst know-it-all ive ever met and it is so gd annoying. The worst part is that if you correct him, he gets upset. It has gotten better but ive witness him correct my mom when she was right and she knew it but had ti bute her tongue to avoid an argument. Ugh
Great advice thank you. You nailed it in 5 minutes
You described my partner, it's not easy understanding where they are coming from. All I can think about is the audacity. But you broke it down in a way that is easy to digest, I have to remember that deep down it might be coming from a place of insecurity.
Wow splendid video, and you sir seem like an awesome person, kind and very intelligent! I seriously gotta watch these steps several times and memorize them!
Very useful conversation, thank you!
Excellent analysis and presentation!
Thank you! You got the perfect energy for this kind of topic. Compassionate and happy, but like REAL hahaha I love it. Ty!
Thank you for your knowledge
Great video and very useful tips. Thanks! Grazie mille!
Perfect 👌🏼 Thank you!
Thank you for this!
My sister-in-law is this type. If I don't take her advice, she gets upset and feels she is meaningless or worthless, "you want to reject me".
I live with one of those and it has been impossible to get that through to them. Now I know a better way of approaching them when they start thinking that way. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I got one at the workplace. I let them talk it up, then when I need them they are there for me.
They always seem like they know everything about you they have no idea how stupid they sound or look
Ultimately, if all else fails? Walking away is a good idea most of the time. More often than not, the person instantly understand that you are done with conversation. If they get angry, raise their voice, and start getting visually mad? Good. They will think about it, think about what they said and critique it in hindsight. Let them reach out to you, and if they don't? Then that person doesn't need to be part of your life.
It’s just that simple.
Me:Can you hand me that spanner?
Friend: You know the spanner was invented as tool for starting fires, it was just more of a different design for yhe caveman.
Me:....yea just give me the tool. Did you know its coated with galvanized, its pretty cool.
Friend: Well they have to, otherwise there is no use to having this tool.
Me:.....just give me the damn wrench!
Friend: The term wrench is wrong, if you wanted to be more techn-
Me: I got it dude, dont worry about it.
Go with what they say until there wrong and humble them by taking over.
I’d rather just prove them wrong. And once I do that of course they will try to argue once again. At this point as they are trying to speak I yell I win! Then they will try again but I just keep on saying I win! I win! I win! I win! like a childish child. Eventually they shut up all pissed and frustrated. I fricken love it! Works great every time. Hah
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?
Thank you 😊
I just became a supervisor at work (it's really not a title I hold to, I still do my old job too, I just also do other things now), and I have to deal with this 16-17 year old kid (I'm aware they're a kid, and I hope they grow out of it), who's constantly talking loudly, thinks they're the best at their job while they're often on their phone and talking with coworkers instead of focused, and is constantly trying to prove themselves a "better supervisor" than me despite them actually not being one. They want to become a teacher and enjoy french, both admirable, but instead of saying the truth that they're doing an internship in helping to teach a class on choosing careers in french, they keep telling people they "teach French". I could go on, but they're just impossible to talk with in any grounded way.
I already try not to speak with them outside of necessity to get the job done, but it gets draining to hear them speak at times. I also feel bad cause they're a kid... but I hope they get some humility over time and don't stay stuck in narcissist land forever.
BRO MY FRIEND IS A KNOW IT ALL! *thank you*
So is mines
So is mine. And the fuck, feeling all great at all
That person is my dad 🥶 We were talking yesterday about countries and when I said something wrong he starts to talk loud and see me with disgust
I remember one time I had a conversation with someone and she explained some facts that I challenged. She then said, you think you know it all. I'm far from perfect but in today's society even challenging someone's fact will be dealt with passive-aggressiveness. I wanted to listen to this video to get a better perspective and I can't find myself in any of these signs.
He put a lot of thought into this
I praise my husband all the time. This just makes it worse. If I don't give into him, he tries to make me feel bad for not listening to him.
Trying to deal with a person who is a specialist know-it-all is the hardest. Most of all a know-it-all person who specializes in the realm of encouraging morality in general while out of the blue offering you 'help'. When there are more than one person like that around in an organization I would rather take the simplest role there instead of being slotted into one of the roles that they believe I would be most useful there. Like being only a volunteer house keeper with boundaries there once in a while where I can offer encouragement whenever being interrupted maybe there too.
Sometimes at laugh but sometimes they r annoying. I don't need to be schooled on shit I've mastered thank u
I asked a friend for prayer, and instead tries to solve my problem and telling me how to handle it and he’s never been through it.
Learn them all.
This advice is all well and good when life is perfect. The problem arises when there are life challenges like no sleep the night before, car breaks down, hackers stole all your money out of your account and you can't pay rent or buy food and gas, children are home sick, spouse is a violent drunk, etc., etc. There were times when some of these things happened to me at once and that's when I had no strength to follow your advice. I just blew up at anyone who crossed my path or looked at me wrong. People sometimes have bad days. It's okay not to be okay sometimes. Because I've been there I like to validate a person's pain and self esteem. Listen, use eye contact, ask questions and let them talk!!! This societal culture is becoming more and more self-centered, self-righteous and uncaring. Stop for a minute and be polite, respectful and patient. Yes...I am a Know-It-All. Sue me....LOL! 😂😂😂
Ok know it all. Take your own advice🤣🤣🤣
One of the worst kind of people….
One of these people actually tried to act like they know more about my boyfriend than I do. She actually tried answering for me when someone was asking me a question about him, the gall…
I just had to cut off a friend that I've known for almost 35 years because he was just like this and after all of those years I finally couldn't take it anymore.
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
That person is my dad
I never feel heard & trusted because HE IS THE ONE WHO ALWAYS RIGHT
Dealing with know it all: always ends up putting the garbage on to them, keep your mouth at minimum motions, use earbuds, so that only half of what they have to say actually enters into your ear. To find it all or to rediscover “Recall your teacher”.
Nice job
Thanks
good job
I have a colleague who is a know it all just joined my company recently now he teaches my boss and me. 😂😂. They are impossible to change.
I'm so pissed rn I had to watch this.
Same
Try to chill bro
Dunning-Kruger effect can happen to us all
As long as they have the answers, nobody can call them out on their sh*t.
When you know they have the answers why ask them questions?
Keep away from such people.
Great advice! There are so many of these people, including on the internet ;)
Maybe that’s why society can be so dysfunctional and disconnected.
I absolutely hate it that my friend knows everything that I said and I don’t even know what came out of my own mouth.
Well apparently my mom knows when I’m hungry or tired even if I don’t 🤣🤣🤣it’s incurable!
If you say you’ve been there they have been there too and then you get to hear about it before you even finish your story.
We have a coworker at my job and a few of us will talk about our experiences from the West Indies. She always compares her American experiences as the same and she knows more because she’s older😒
There is no way to compare a Mango tree to a Pecan tree. Lady please!!!
I just stop talking to her other than Hello Good Day Goodbye…. And she hates it 😂
Whole video = be stoic
grazie 😊
Ugh, we have a high-ranking chef at my catering job who is stuck up. On one of her first days, we were doing a service at this university's hockey/basketball location, and she was telling us how to do things the "right" way, acting like an experienced leader. Thing is, _we've_ been doing this service for years; _she_ was new, and already acting like she knew better than us. She practically said she was better than us. And last week, she got in my face about filter. Apparently I said something wrong, but I don't even know what; she never specified, and she told me I can only talk about work and school. That is absurd and unreasonable. And the next day, she told me she wasn't trying to give it to me (while gesturing like an angry person), she was trying to help me be successful. Oh, why? Because I'm a big Ioser without her help?
My equals at work? Believe me, I make fun of them to their face about being a know it all then proceed to ignore them. It has worked 100% of them time brotha
Theyres some people in this world that are like that think they know it all but then you tell them to do something and dont know nothing
I can't stand a know it all. Half the time they don't be knowing jack! ☹️☹️☹️
Nice shirt dude
All good advice. But sometimes complementing them only makes their head swell and their attitude gets worse. More so If all of these compliments are encouraged by others in a Tactless way. Eventually, the person becomes hard to deal with as now they live in a delusional state of mind thinking they do indeed know everything. You can't feed bad behaviour with good rewards. And the worst thing about people of this nature is they talk over the top of others in conversation and are really quite forceful with the Topic. Gernrelly it is always centered on them. Trying to have a conversation at times is down and outright rude.
On of my best friends is a know it all, he not a bad person, it's just he always has to have the last word.
I know someone who has worked a thousand jobs, has the best things, knows how to do everything, wont handle advice. Yet they have broken down cars, no finished projects, their house has alot of jobs that need completing, and they claim the work hard but dont. They like to tinker but never finish something. Everything looks tatty. But they know it all, know the best car to buy, the best clothes to buy, how to do everything. Theyre very hard to be around. Sadly, i cant change this because theyre married to someone in our family.
Ugh. Theyre rude and put us down. They constantly tell us how their things are better. Ours arent as good. Our dog was dumb. Theirs is smart. Blah blah blah
Its tiring
Very often, people who simply share information are labeled as know it alls by other insecure people. Important to make that distinction. I think this video is rather describing rude, overbearing people who don’t respect boundaries.
Yes!
In the workplace I think its better to tell them in front of a group. Speaking to them alone opens up an opportunity for false statements of bullying against you. These days its important to cover yourself in the workplace. Find a nice way to establish peace again
Would this be too harsh?
"Hey James, how about a tall glass of shut the f@#k up?!"
😂
Definitely will have a talk with someone this week! It’s so irritating!
Roberto, I appreciate your intelligence, you are really smart. But I think I can handle know-it-alls on my own. CIAO!
You can do it! ... :-)
Ciao
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
