What to do with the one who knows it all???

I have a boyfriend that thinks he knows it all. I really don't deal with it I just hope for the best. He thinks he knows everything and if I say something it becomes a argument. What I do is I let him see what he said or done wrong and he will come out and say what he has done wrong or that he was wrong.

LOL ran into both Mrs or Miss and Mr Know it alls. Got tired of one guy who knew EVERYTHING. So finally I asked so do you know what it is like to carry a baby inside you for 9 months and go into labor and all the pain it entails. I mean you not your wife. I just stared at me, with his mouth hanging open and turned red and slunk off. His wife was fit to be tied with laughter. As to a woman. Just ask so you know what it is like to stand up and pee against a tree like a man. Bet she shuts up fast. Another thing is say REALLY, is that so, then end with Whatever. That annoys them. LOL

If its someone you know well and they will be in your life awhile the best thing you can do is be really nice and tell them what they are doing is ignorant to you. If its someone you will just know for only a little bit its best just to ignore them, doing the same thing they do to them will just make you worse than them. Its best to be mature and calm in situations like that.

I know a few people that think that they know everything,about anything aswell as everything.There are people out there that she have a degree with all the things that they think they know.I hate people that butt into other peoples conversations as i think that it is very rude,especially if they do not have a clue what they are on about.I tend to let what they say go in one ear and out of the other.

Well in an event like that if i was to run in to a know it all, i try to over talk the person and if that does not work. I would have to cut the person off and explain to them that everytime we talk u r always buttin in on my conversation , and how would u like if if i did that to u, and i would also do some reseach so that i can have more information on the topic that they are talking about so that i can tell them the right facts .

I wanna say that I met some kinds of these people. They knew almost everything of the world. Some people are very good at talking, maybe they read many kinds of books. But it doesn't means that they are good at everything. Some of them just talk in generalities,they didn't know something in profound meaning.I think we should learn their advantages,but not copy all of them.

Those people are just annoying. If I can just ignore them, then that is what I'd do. I'd probably never say a word for them and just watch them if I can't escape them.

Hello chiyosan, I would never ask questions, that he/she always has an answer ready for. They make fun of themselves when they try to be confident, as if we don't know anything. Since we get to know how much and what they know, we could always counter attack with questions we believe they would not confidently lie about. You could perhaps add a sarcastic note to their reply, making fun of it when they try to answer it. Which they are bound to coz they can't silent. And the next thing you could do is stay silent all the way, greet the third person who happens to pass by.

Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to take a person who thinks they know it all. There is just no pleasing this person. It is hard to maintain a conversation with someone who knows everything. they think they already have all of the answers. i usually try to avoid having too much contact with people who know it all. if I can't avoid the situation, i just let them speak their minds. there uually is no stopping them anyway.

I work with one! At first it was getting to me. I started avoiding him and didn't want him in conversations because it just frustrated me. But I have no choice because I have to work with him. So, I just used his 'special trait' against him. I just forward workloads to him! He has been very busy since, and hasn't bothered me at all for quite some time.

I am living with one and boy it is a struggle everyday not to get mad or argue. It is highly irritating really. I have to often breathe a prayer "please not today Lord" or "please give me the grace not to strike back' after all we are all human beings and at some point we could react indifferently especially when you have swallowed enough.

well if that happens to me i will just shut up and leave the scene to him, i would not want to get into an argument or discussion, if he feels he is more smart then let it be,

I challenge them. Then ask them to prove what they saying is true. Like asking them to provide basis on their claims.

I agree...there are most definitely those types of people out there that really do believe that they have done everything and know everything. I try my best to ignore them whilst simultaneously laugh to myself beause more often than not they have done a lot less than anyone else in the room :)

Hi, I think it's best just to listen quietly. You can't change or contradict to what these people say. They rely less on logic and more on emphasis. Force always defeats logic in the short term. Now if you contradict them, they will inevitably put more force in their arguments and the meaning of the conversation will be lost. So it's better to remain silent for a few minutes, until this person gets out of sight. The thing that such a person hates the most is silence. They can't stand it. They are troubled from inside and want others to contradict. This is mainly due to lack of self esteem on their parts. Thanks. God bless you.

hello chiyosan! i have encountered such kind of people in my lifetime and i agree with you that it's annoying to listen to them. well, for me i just listen to them quietly, never interrupting them and just look at them. Well, they can't forever talk when no one is interjecting or adding fuel to his/her bullet-styled talks. the more you butt in or answer back to what he talks about, the more you encourage him to talk more. so it's better to keep silent and just seemingly listen. next time, avoid him like a plague, or suffer another hours of listening to his droning.
