why do people who don't do anything act like they know so much?

Hello Sasha Kiddo. The first thought that comes to mind is that they have an imaginary degree in stupidity and being lazy and must there for use it as often as they can... If stupidity and incompetence would hurt, the hospitals all over the Earth would be full within minutes...

Thy have a complex and feel that by talking and pretending to know everything they will cover up their ignorance. It is annoying when they monopolise and don't let others talk. I have seen this happening. I have friend who is noted for this kind of behaviour.

Hi there Sasha! Could it be that things are always easier said than done? A good example are critics who loves to mouth it off than actually "work" on suggestions that can lead for the improvement of all. Take for example, someone who criticizes on a singer and yet they themselves cant even sing at all! Just imagine that crap of pretention and pride?! If you really do care about the singer, you tell that singer right on his face, "i have a good suggestion on how you can improve your voice, would you like me to teach you?" To those who cant sing, could you please just shut your mouth and keep your comments to yourself as you cant do any better?

Talk is cheaper than action. Talk means nothing and means everything.

there are really people who seem to know it all when in fact they do not have any idea what they are talking about.. they are only good in talking but they don't do anything to solve a problem.. unfortunately, i know some politicians here in our country who are like this..

Because taking is very easy and involves only exercise of lips where as great persons act in silence and their actions speak much louder than the words.

because these people don't know about their feature and they want to attract the people against himself .

I think a lot of times, it is just to hear the sound of their voice. As to why, only they can say, from what I understand it is easier to whine then to act though. Most people take the easy way out. I listen to a guy by the name of Jim Rohn, he was an american business man and philosopher, he always said the pain of discipline is less then the pain of regret. I am sure he stole the euphemism but it is a good one. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

There are just some people that will function this way. They don't have to ne that knowledgeable about any certain subject in particular. they have to let everyone around them think they know everything. It gives them a false longing of power they seem to need to cling to for their own control. it doesn't mean they really know more or less than anybody else.

yes,you're right,why they choose to talk rather than do something especially to there own life and problems,maybe there are kind of people who really act like that as there mannerism.

...In my opinion, it falls down to the age-old pride and low self-esteem. People like to brag about their accomplishments and add some extra things they didn't do to inflate their ego and feel good about themselves. They don't care for the truth and how other people perceive them. If they didn't do their said accomplishments, they simply manufacture them out of thin air just to have air time and still feel good about themselves. People use talking because it is cheap and basically, once something is said it cannot be captured back for analysis. Talking is one of the 'in the moment' actions where everything can go smoothly and badly. If something bad is said, it is easy to retract or play innocent that the words were never uttered at all. It is convenient and easy to spread around. Talking is a temporary relief and it buys time when it comes to problems. It does provide certain incentives like an alternative view or approach that can lead to the solution but not the actual solution itself.
