The Know It All

Some people know it all. Some people are know it all's. There is a difference. When you are smart and have knowledge of many topics, people will seek out your advice. They know that your answers are fact based and they trust your judgment. They ask for your opinion. You are someone who knows it all. Then, there are the other types of know it all's. They interject their knowledge when it is not asked for. If you disagree, they will argue the point. They want to be correct, at all costs. They become the kind of person you begin to avoid. We have a know it all in work. She just started as an intern. She is in her 20's and while she is book smart, her social skills need a bit of honing. I see people shying away from her. If that continues, I will have to have a talk with her. People who know it all draw other's close to them. Know it all's alienate themselves.
