Hello....my name is jessie...and I am a "know it all". [:D]


~laughs~

Imagine the 12-step program...


Hi, jessie...  I'm "Red."  I pretend to not know anything until someone tells me something blatently incorrect and then I crush them with my incredible knowledge and make them wish they were dead.  [:D]  *looks around, I may be in the wrong group? giggles*

ok so i talked to some one last night and they said that i was too much of a know it all....
 
eeeeeep...that hurt my feelings
 
i try so hard to say 'imo' or 'imho' or to say in 'my experiance'...
 
anyway the reason i am writing is i guess i want to know if i come of know-it-allish and snobby...and what i can do to better...
 
and also if that is a bad thing and why...




I like a lady who claims to have the answers, so a ''know it all'' is not a big problem here.... However, a narcissist / despot , whether they are female or male, often wind-up leading a very lonely existence. Yanno….some folks have trouble deciphering the two   [8|]

Hi.  I'm Philip and I'm a know-it-all.  [waits for room to say "Hi Philip"]  I've been stupid now for about 151 days.

It is hard being a know-it-all.  We can own computers, but only to access sites with no content (like anything featuring Regis Philbin).  Our hearts beat faster when we walk by a bookstore.  We test ourselves by going into libraries and seeing if we can NOT open reference books.  Or we watch Jeopardy on TV and intentionally shout out wrong answers even though we know...but pretend we don't know...the right answer ("what is a "hyena's penis", Alex?").  We live in fear that we will default on our student loans, and a couple of goons from Sallie Mae will show up at our front door to repossess our education.

I know I'll always be a know-it-all.  But I learned I can control myself.  If I don't think, I'm OK.  It doesn't matter what else I do.  All I have to do is not think.  If I'm not thinking, I'm OK.  I just take it 86,400 seconds at a time, y'know?

whoops.....

crouchingtigress -> RE: Know it alls (11/26/2006 1:33:52 PM)

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii Phillip....so the question begs why only 151 days...did you fall on your head?
 
Sab: i can try that....just for shiggles....but i am way to sensitive, i was the girl on the play ground who broke into tears if a boy made fun of my breasts for being too big....and i have never yet got through the color purple or nicolas cages' family man with out crying....i just cried at the new movie happy feet...great movie btw





KnightofMists -> RE: Know it alls (11/26/2006 1:51:27 PM)

Phrases like "Your a know it All"  could sound alot like a person is saying "You have an opinion on everything"

I find that often that individuals contribute an opinion on issues that frankly they have little or no valuable experience on the issue in question.  Sometimes we need to consider the depth and value are our opinion contributes to an issue.  Sometimes ... Saying.. In my opinion ... is rather meanlessly! 

For Example
"In my opinion... Being a woman is much easier than being a man."   mmmmmm what do you think?  Does that opinion have much value.  sure I understand what it is like to be a man... but in reality.. I have absolutely no value to contribute at what it is to be a woman.  All I have is observational experience of being a woman... and frankly that really doesn't cut it.  also, Sometimes.. an opinion.. is just STUPID.. and is better left unsaid or even considered.

So ... ask yourself... are you finding yourself contributing an opinion at all occassions?.  Do you have some valuable experience or knowledge in the area that you are contributing your opinion on?   Maybe answering these questions will help to consider the truth of the comment or lack of truth as the case maybe?  Maybe considering these questions will allow you to consider the choice of expressing your opinion or not?

Wisdom sometimes is just learning when not to speak and just listen.  But sometimes it is just learning to express what you feel and think with depth and consideration.




littlesarbonn -> RE: Know it alls (11/26/2006 2:19:06 PM)

I kind of run into a different problem as a realized "know it all". I'm well educated, and I've experienced a lot of real world things to help me see the world in ways that quite a few others do not. It doesn't mean that I'm right all the time; but it does mean that I have a highly evolved perspective on a lot of things. I often tell people that I consider myself a true Socratic (the early Plato, not the Plato that used Socrates as his mouthpiece) in that I truly believe that I do not know everything, and thus, my necessity in life is to examine every avenue and overturn every stone in the hopes of finding better evidence than I already have.

I could sit on my laurels and talk about multiple higher level degrees, but even those weren't accomplished as a desire to be a know it all, but to explore further pieces of information that I found lacking within myself. I'm still in school because there are answers that others have come to that I am still interested in exploring. I think my peers probably hate me in the whole academic discipline thing mainly because I spend more time deconstructing what everyone has accepted as scientific dogma than I do adding to the accepted knowledge.

The problem for me is that I spend most of my social time looking for the woman who is of that same nature, an inquisitive soul who doesn't have to be a rocket scientist but has enough wisdom to know how to explore knowledge for the sake of finding desired answers. I thought i found her once, and I became her slave, but she was going through relationship problems at the time that fell apart soon after I arrived, which had nothing to do with me. I lost her and contact with her as a result. I've been searching ever since.

I don't consider myself a genius. Hell, I have trouble figuring out where to fill out my name on an IQ test. But I can't begin to tell you how many "geniuses" hate my guts because they had a verbal conversation with me that didn't end with them walking away thinking they got over on this clueless Socratic because they were well educated from some of the finest institutions. I guess what I'm driving at here is that I have dealt with some very brilliant people in my time, but what made them brilliant was the fact that almost always they were interested in exploring NEW information from those a "genius" would never even socialize with.

Anyway, back to my crayons and coloring books....

I wish I knew it all. It seems the more I think I know, the less I actually realize that I know.
 
So confusing sometimes

Bravo! LOL




Lorelei115 -> RE: Know it alls (11/29/2006 9:52:15 PM)

Better to be percieved as a know-it-all than a know-nothing, I guess. [:)] I'm usually the latter.

I happen to have pretty strong opinions on certain issues and I almost always state those feelings in a rough-around-the-edges kind of way.  But I more often say things like "From my experience I think a b and c are true"  Or "From what I have seen....."  or "I find it hard to believe that blah blah blah"

For example:

"May december relationships are doomed."   (this is know it all style)

"From what Ive seen, I have a really hard time believeing that a may december relationship has a good chance of making it"  (this is opinion style)

I still piss people off with my style,  but I dont think its the same style as typical know-it-alls who states their feelings or beliefs as factuals pieces of info they just pulled out of wikipedia.





sleazy -> RE: Know it alls (11/29/2006 10:35:24 PM)

Ok, I'm sort of new round these here parts, but I have read back through the archives a way and can honestly say I have not ever considered any of the folks here with high post counts to be know-it-alls. Knowledgable yes, experienced, probably, able to voice and posses an opinion, certainly :)

On that note Tigress, feel safe that I dont consider you a know-it-all, something that appears a majority viewpoint

Dnomyar -> RE: Know it alls (11/30/2006 5:11:53 AM)

Well I realy do have an IQ of over 150.  They should do away with the term know it all and use know a lot.
