I'm really sick and tired of everybody telling me that I'm a know-it-all. It's not that I'm never wrong - trust me, I know when I don't know something or when I've made a mistake. I can admit when I'm wrong. But to be honest, I'm usually right, and I usually know what I'm talking about. If I don't, then I'm upfront about it. So as long as I continue to be right more often than I am wrong, I will continue to act as, what some people refer to, as a know-it-all.
And the thing that REALLY bothers me is that the people who call me a know-it-all the most are almost always the biggest fuck-ups of all!!! The irony of it is unbelievable to me. They're just pissed because they KNOW I'm right, and THEY'RE the ones who can't admit they're wrong! Gahhh it drives me nuts!!
What I do know, is that I'm assertive, opinionated, and have no problem getting in your face. ESPECIALLY when I know I'm right. And more often than not, I tell people things they don't want to hear out of concern for that person, and nothing else. I know what I say might not always be popular, or liked, or supported, but it's what I believe, and until something changes my mind otherwise, I'll continue to believe it.
It's just so frustrating to me that my friends and family can't always see past me being a know-it-all and see that all I'm really trying to do is help them and keep them from making stupid, possibly life-altering mistakes. And what hurts the most is that I try so hard to look out for my friends, and love them so much, but that this concern is not only unappreciated, but frowned upon.
But what feels the best is when I can say "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" LOL!!!
