How to Deal with an Annoying Know-it-All

1. Try to understand why they’re acting that way. Do they feel insecure or have low self-esteem; or are they trying to hide the way they really feel inside?

2. Ignore them when they butt in or they answer others’ questions, or when they tell a story that’s designed to impress. Simply smile, nod your head, and then talk to someone else.

3. Tease them gently so they see that other people aren’t impressed – and that everyone has views that it is worth listening to.

4. If you’re friends, try and tell them how they sometimes come across. But do it when you’re on your own, and don’t be unkind or harsh. Remember – your goal is to help, and not humiliate, your friend.

5. If nothing seems to work, then try to stay away from them. This friendship is doomed and unlikely to last.

One way is not to confirm what they say and jump all over when they are wrong.
