I remember someone saying that and how much it hurt. Because I feel if I know the answer, I am compelled to share it. I see it as a need on their side that I should fulfill. I am a “how can I fix it” mentality. But some people are complaining or speaking just to be heard. They want commiseration, not answers.

If it’s someone close to you, then speak about it — “I’m sorry, I thought you wanted an answer or suggestion, I feel I should provide if I can. Is that not what you’re looking for?”

If it’s someone else, whose opinion is not necessary, you can make a mental note to let them have their delusions, just maybe not with you around.

my experience with being called a 'know-it-all' is entirely from calling shit talking liars on their shitty little lies they want to spread.

examples include 'obama was a muslim', 'trump's a great businessman', 'conservatives are for small government and freedom of speech' etc.

present them with evidence that not only contradicts their thesis but refutes it completely and suddenly 'you're such a know it all!'

lolol

Such a strange insult, know it all. Right up there with "do-gooder". Am I? Okay.

See also: social justice warrior. That sounds badass as fuck when you look at the words themselves rather than the misanthropic brainwashing behind the expression!

Add 'woke' to that list tbh. I have no idea how that word went from meaning a good thing to meaning a bad thing. If you watch the first 'Shazam!' movie, the word is used in a positive light when a character tells someone to get woke. Now at the time of the second Shazam! movie the word means something different with a negative connotation.

Conclusion: we should have prevented the second Shazam! movie.
