Always right !!!!

[luxo barge]

I Know of a bloke who is always right, we all know someone who is always right even if they are wrong, but this bloke is always right and is right and not wrong. It bugs me a bit, and I ask him wtf are you always right, to which he adds "It's counter productive being wrong"
He seems to go out of his way to only speak the truth, nothing more, and people he speaks to go to leangths to prove him wrong. They accuse him of always being right and hate him for it, they always also say he is wrong and this seems to upset him greatly.

I have never ever heard him be wrong, but he does admit he sometimes is wrong but trys to keep to the facts 90% of the time. He won't speak of something, if he thinks there even might be chance that he may be wrong.

Is there something worng with being right, if you are 100% right ?

I thought I was wrong once, but then I realised I'd made a mistake....

You thought right then....lucky bugger; never wrong

Hmmmmm... Tuff call Luxo.

The problem with a bloke like that is sometimes he might need to let someone else be right, someone else might have the same idea but never gets a chance to have an opinion cause old mate is all over it early. I have trouble with this sometimes cause i like to be helpful and contribute but he needs to be conscious of those around him or he will be the arrogant bloke that knows everything.

There is no joy being the bloke that everyone else looks at and thinks "the been there done that bloke" Learn to bight your tongue more and some things are just not important. Think about it, Does he Really NEED to be right about everything?? if he does then he shows little respect for those around him. He needs to learn to let people be wrong sometimes without a challenge cause sometimes it just does not matter.

I'll tell him that; I'll tell him he needs to be a mere mortal sometimes and be purposly wrong at least half the time, so other people can be right and feel like they have had a win, and in turn they may like him more.

I myself accept most people for who they are, and if he's allways right, that does not hurt me, as i think being right can't be such a bad thing. Some people think i'm crazy for this, but that's their view and that's ok with me.

It's interesting indeed. there are some people who think things through to the end, and then maybe open their mouth. They invest a lot of themselves in what they say and appreciate being taken seriously, and being right. In a group discussion it is often necessary to make space for them or they just sit there keeping valuable stuff to themselves.

I'm not one of them. Bit more impulsive and happy to throw out ideas and see what happens.

The ones I have trouble with are those that speak with absolute confidence on everything, even when they don't know what they are talking about. The challenge then is to know what can be relied upon, and what ignored. I've only ever met two of them.
