Pride will always get in the way of viewing new ideas with an open mind, it's hard to admit that you were wrong.
This comment is a great example of that.
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 😅
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.
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.
Sounds really exhausting. Dealing with this person as a friend or coworker is annoying, but as a partner it's even worse. He do be mansplainin'
Gurllll... you better get out of that relationship asap... but forgive him for being like this first because if you don't you'll keep attracting the same kind of people.
Sending you 💙
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.
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.
Such responsible parent 😒😒😒
I feel you there… I’m always getting the “I’m older than you so I’m right” stance from my parents and in law parents. Or give treatment as if you have to just do what they say and give in and take their disrespect bc they’re “your elder.” One of them literally said they don’t acknowledge me and tells me to shut up. Seems to me a lot of people in their 50s-60s and older people seem to be in that mind state that because they’re older they just know everything there is to know and there’s no way you could possibly know something they don’t. It’s ridiculous. And when we stand up to it, we’re overreacting or something is “wrong with us” or we’re not even worth listening to.
I'm sorry hun. That's not right at all
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.
I know, it's so tiring to try to navigate their "I'm right no matter what" ways.
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
It is exhausting on ourselves too, right? Trying to help and solve things out for other people also has an impact on us.
I avoid them. It a push and pull relationship. To much wasted energy. Run
True, you don't have to stay.
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.
That's so frustrating! I love that you do it for others though.
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?
That's called being condescending
Disrespectful. That is just basic disrespect. If they are unwilling to understand that they are being disrespectful to you then leave. It won’t get better.
A Lot of people will get confirmation they are right even when they are dead wrong then you have more conflict
Sounds like a good temporary solution but not sure if it's going to encourage more narcissistic behaviours in the future.
This got me thinking...
Telling them they're right isn't the right answer! Just keep your cool. Try to let them vent so you can get your point across with a soft, firm voice. If you don't speak your mind, no one will know what you're thinking or going thru if you don't express it.
Might work, but its tiring
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?
That sounds super frustrating. Family relationships can be so tricky when they feel unbalanced and like the other person isn't trying to know and understand us.
Sounds like they are projecting on you
That's why I'm here!!!
I avoid those type of people. I let them make themselves look like a idiot when proven wrong
You're right!
My friend is actually like this
thanks for your video! hope you get more views!
Thank you Glenn! 💙
Thank you for the advice
Any time! 💙
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS IT HELPED ME SO MUCH 😅😅😅
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.
I will try this
What if they’re completely in the wrong…
Like genuinely I can’t see where she’s right !
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.
Everybody likes to be heard
You are amazing, I was telling myself no way will I be able to talk to my wife.
I'm so glad it helped! ...how did the talk go? 💙🤞
@@StacyRocklein You was right, she was less defensive and on edge. She felt like I was agreeing and listening to her. But I wasn't, because am an old fashion man. Lol. The kids will allways do their chores before leaving the house. She calls me controlling but thanks to you, I just agree with her and still tell the kids they ain't leaving the house.
@@acool5924 I am fucking deceased she did not wnat that response lmao🤣
@@acool5924 "Am an old fashion man" you mean you don't respect your wife? You ARE controlling if you wont listen to her. You straight up say you were pretending to listen to her. This comment is so unaware it hurts, you are the one who always needs to be right, tell your wife I'm sorry. The only thing you have accomplished is ruining your mariage.
@@b_randoc6682 clicking see replies was a jumpscare bro lmao
Me being here cuz my brother's is being supper annoying with always trying to be right and i cant communicate with him
I hope things got better 💙
Same that's why I don't have convos with him and avoid him as much as possible
That’s me. I am right, and when I’m not certain that I’m right I will be quiet
Because you are introverted thinking (Ti) and value truth.
So I've been wondering how to navigate something. Should I remain friends with someone who feels completely justified in attacking my morality? Obe day She asked me if I'm into a specific religion. I said I'm not. She then proceeded to tell me I'm h3r enemy, I'm incapable of morality and demanded I tell her exactly what I believe... I told her she's being disrespectful and left. She then sent LENGTHY texts about why she's right and she is going to save me from myself. I told her to stop and she's attacking me so I'm not talking to her. She then said she's cutting me off from her and her family. This means that my relationship with everyone else, is compromised. I can't go to family hang outs with out her right there. I thought about talking to her but she has a tendency to keep on pushing her ideals. I told her I respect t her beliefs and have no intention of pushing my beliefs on her or her family but she's super controlling and self justified. I don't think I can be friends with her unless I sensor everything about me. Like seriously she doesn't want me wearing my Pikachu hat around her kids because I'll take them to hell... wtf
It sounds like you know the right thing to do for you.
We all want control
That's true
should you be friends with some one like this?
(EYE JUST HERE TO MAKE EU THINK!). MOST OF hOUR LIVES WEE STRIVE TO DO WATTS REIGHT. THE QUESTION TO ASK URSELF IS REIGHT ACCORDING TO WHOM. ..FACTS OVA FEELINGS!
I swore she said her name is 'Stacy Rockclimb' Oh her ancestors must have been great rock climbers 🤭
Sure sounds like it 😅
Why do I have to be right about everything if I’m wrong that means I’m a loser and a failure and a worthless loser :( it’s so hard :(
You might be taking this conversation in the wrong manner...Everyone doesn't KNOW EVERYTHING, it's okay not to know everything, were human. There are something's that some people have a little more experience OORR know a little more information about but that does not make us right about EVERYTHING or right at all or, doesn't make us a loser or anything because we don't know ALL informational things. But um, yyeeahh 😅
I had ex like that and also had friends like that
We all have them at some point
Are we talking about factually or morally right? Because there's nothing wrong with being morally right, obviously. If you're right and the other person is wrong, there's nothing to own or apologize for on your half. No deeper truth to it, as right is right, wrong is wrong (ethically).
Been there. 🤪🤪🤪
Lol, tried it, good advice but it doesn't work
People who thinks there always right needs to stay by themselves
😅
constantly even raavan in ramayan was not wrong how come a normal person be constantly wrong in a normal life,its a trickery to escape your own shit
So true!
I cant talk to my friend without him saying im wrong 😡
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things work out.
My wife
From what I've seen, women struggle more with the "need to be right" and for men it's that annoying AF "one upsmanship" game they tend to play with each other.
Yeah
u ever heard of charlie zelenoff? maybe there's a correlation of this noid strategy of pestering 🙉

I do this.. but it gets weird. Because I try to say "yes, you are right about that. I agree. But when you look at this particular point or aspect..." And after that when i say something that didn't match with exactly what she said, She throws a tantrum and doesn't even tries to be subtle about how she thinks she's the right one.
If i agree with her, I'm correct. And if i don't, I'm wrong, I'm weird, I just need to be 'different', I'm annoying and I'm a few cuss words too.
I exist in an environment where i have to meet her on day to day basis, and even though we have the same position.. in our social hierarchy, she's on the top, and people always prefer her, her opinions, her words, and people also refuse to believe that she could be wrong. It's hard in this environment, but i have to compromise. 🫠
