i knew that

Ever hear someone tell you that?
The “I already knew that!” response?
You hear that regularly from the “know it alls.”

There are some variations too.
It could be
“I told you already”, or
“This is what we did at my previous job”, or
“This is what you should do”
or (in a question format:)
“You know what you should do?”

WHY DO WE ALL DO THIS?

The folks who correct:
everything:
you
me
every one else.
Why?

Because they need to validate:
Themselves.

It’s on them, not on you.
Trust me.

I used to tease teachers (professional, not self proclaimed) I knew.
I had a standard joke I’d use around them.
Deliberately would mispronounce a word in front of them just so they would
correct me.

To me: funniest joke ever.
To my wife who often witnessed this: “They think you’re an idiot.”
Back to me: “Proves my point-teachers only live to correct.”

I’ve expanded that now to include those who feel the need to always be right.
“I’m correcting you to demonstrate, once again, how I’m right and you’re
wrong,
Again.”

Why?
We all state “we don’t judge.”
and we may believe ourselves, too.
Yet we all do it anyway.

I’ve been told not to judge,
(by someone else judging me.)

If I can show how wrong you are, then I’m RIGHT!
To quote someone famous, “Wrong!”

Not me.
Not anymore.

I’m trying to get past this.
Everyone has the right
to be wrong.

I once read we are all at one time
3 different people:
The person you think you are;
The person others think you are; and
The person you really are.

Remember reality isn’t what YOU think.
It’s what it ACTUALLY is.

Are you always
right?
Or are you human like me?

But
sometimes
