i have a friend like this she will ask for my help and i give it to her and then she turns around and does exactally the oppiste i really give up and i mention it to her and she told me its because she is always right which she isn't and then when it back fires on her she tells me oh i should of listen to you i give up
-
You cannot say anything because he or she THINK they know everything. I too have a friend like that.
-
Just don't even offer her any more advice. If she really thinks she knows everything and thinks she is always right, she's going to have a very hard time in life. If she asks, just say you'd really rather not get involved in her affairs.
-
Wow, I have a friend who does exactly the same thing. He'll ask my advice and then do exactly the opposite or he'll ask some one else and take their advice. What do you say about that. You think he's being disrespectful?
-
It's so hard to be a friend sometimes!! :BangHead:
-
i have a lot of family members that think they know whats best for me and my family or try to tel me how to raise my child. I hate that so much and once I tried to say something but most people that are like that will just get offended and start arguing so I just try my best to ignore it now. I've never had a friend that thinks they know everything though... most of my friends are pretty laid back and nice.
-
nothing because they wouldn't listen anyway :dontknow:
-
Probably nothing cuz they won't listen and they probably won't think what I say means anything since they know everything.
-
I agree with everyone else here, you just say nothing. Just don't offer her any more advice then, if she is a know-it-all. Thats all you have to do because they will not listen to you anyway.
-
That gets me so mad. I just tell em to do whatever they wanna do.
-
I say good Luck, if he/she think that they are always right then good luck because they will need it as there is no one is always right
but as a friend you have to bear with them because he/she is your friend
it doesn't matter if she did what you say or did the opposite what really matters is that you gave your honest advise meaning if you face the same situation this would be the way you'll act

If I were you on the first place I leave her long time do what ever she want to do already. I don't want to touch a poccipine.

I tell them... Your name isn't Google so stop acting like you know everything! Lol :P
Doesn't really matter what you say though because to people like this, no one knows what they are talking about. It does get frustrating though, when asked for advice/opinion, only to be shot down or ignored because what you have to say isn't what they wanted you to say.
-
Look 'em straight in the eye and emphatically assure them that they do not know everything, otherwise they would've known that already.
-
don't give them you advice, because they dont really want it
-
Out and out tell them..."those of you who think you know everything, are a pain in the *bleep* to those of us that do." That has shut some people up in my past. ;D
-
With me I never say anything to people like that. They like listening to themselves talk and they are an authority on any subject. In other words I don't listen to fools.
-
My mom is like that, she thinks she is always right.
I used to tell her but then she gets mad and then cries (menopause?) so I just ignore her now.
-
Some people are just hard headed and stubborn. And no matter how obvious a solution to a situation seems its always a little bit different if your the person watching from the outside in. I too have had MANY people tell me that they should have taken my advice, but thats just life ppl live and learn. And as far as your friend goes stop giving her advice. If she asks for it just tell her " why should i give you advice when you never listen to it anyway, so why should i waste my breath". It might get her to wake up a little lol. If not just play your postion as her friend :) and be ready to catch her when she falls ..again lol :thumbsup:
-
There's really no point in trying since they already know it all.

Why wasting your time! She never listen to you. Just listen what she have to say and ignore!

My dad was like that. Even if I showed him documented proof he was wrong about something, he was still right. So I got to the point where I would just say "whatever you say" or I'd roll my eyes at him and say nothing.
As for friends, you can choose how much you want to communicate with them, if at all. So if she asks for advice again just say "well what do you think" and if she says she wants your input just tell her you have none and try to change the subject. If shes one of those where only her issues matter and she won't talk to you about anything else (like about your life) even if shes not following your advice at all, then she's just wanting someone to tell her she's right all the time and listen to her talk.
That means she's not a friend and you're wasting your time and just frustrating yourself keeping her in your life.

Tell them to STFU! :o :o :o :o

"Wow! How did you get so smart?"
