I don't want this to be a ranting feel bad for me post. But I hate feeling stupid. I hate when people flaunt their knowledge in front of me. I know they're smart. They don't need to wave it in front of my face, but when they do, it's just plain annoying. I'm not confident in my smartness...if I am at all. No. I know I am, but I don't feel like I have the opportunity to let people know that because other people are correcting me on the tiniest details, or just stating random facts that are superfluous. SEE???? BIG WORD!! I AM SMART! ANNNND I DIDN'T NEED TO LOOK IT UP!

Point is, I'm annoyed. I don't like know-it-alls. You can know it all, all you want...but you don't need to point it out to everyone that you are one just to prove how smart you are!

What's a small detail to someone may be very important to someone else. Also, I think when people correct they think they are helping, and sometimes it CAN be helpful. And even if not for you, or everybody, sometimes random facts are just fun!

However, it depends on how it's done. There's friendly corrections and knowledge-sharing, but then there's condescending I can't blame ya for being annoyed at that. It's just important to look at people's intentions, I think. I hope you don't think of THIS as a know-it-all post. You're really smart in a really neat way, and I think the more you build up that faith, you can "sigh" away the pretentious ones :)
