Do you prefer a know-it-all or a person who is never sure?

i know of somebody of that sort. she thinks she knows it all and doesn't acknowledge other persons' input or suggestions. i don't prefer a person like that but it is also disgusting if u seek an advice from someone who can't even make one suggestion, lol. really hard to deal with them, but better dealt with by weighing things urself and believe in ur own wise judgment. better still, seek advice from other more knowledgeable persons.

It is very annoying when people think they know everything and everthing they say is right. I have a relative like that. And it really irritates me. I try not to get into a serious conversation with this person. That is how I deal with it. Even if this person does sort of agree with what I say. They still turn it around into what they would like it to be said or think.

hi taraelocin Both are annoying but the know everything one is the worst. at least the one who can never make up her mind is not above listening to other opinions than her own. She is easier to deal with. I just say you just need to have more self confidence and know you are right. so go ahead and make your decision knowing it will be the right one.With the know it all it is really hard for me to handle as I am one who sometimes takes time to make up my mind, but sometimes I just get tired of the mouth on the know it all and walk away. grrrrrrrr.

Well, i have friends who fit those description. i just listen to my miss/mr know it all friend and still i state my opinion even though they will not accept mine. Eventually they will accept it. i remember a mentor of mine telling me even though a person will not listen to you but if you just tell them what your opinion is then eventually they will remember it. Our ears will take in any information even if we don't actively listen. So whenever you choose to be selectively listen, the part of the conversation will still be inputted into you. As for the skeptic, they will agree if you make suggestions.

YES !! My older brother is a know it all! And whenever I tell him he is wrong he never thinks he is. And then the most annoying thing ever he says 'I never said I knew everything'. And yet he wont ever believe he is wrong. But what is refreshing is my boyfriend is kind of an a know it all but thats because he researches things all the time. And he is willing to accept when he is wrong. So its refreshing. He is like in the middle of the two and Ithink in the middle is a healthy place to be.
