Ha! That's funny cause I do the same thing all the time. I re-read my post and immediately felt like I came across as a know-it-all. I didn't mean to.@gunther you might be right about this. when I talk to people online in forums I spend a lot of time editing what I post because im aware of a tendency to come off as pompous and I try to curb this as much as possible. IRL this could be even more of a factor since communication is happening in real time and theres no chance to edit what ive already said
I hate to come across like I know anything. I just spent time in sales and one of the things you learn is how not to say things that slightly aggravate other people.in your opinion do I give off condescending/insulting vibes in what I write? its infuriating because on a deep level im humble and try to respect the humanity of people but it seems like often (not always) people get the opposite impression of me somehow anyways. It could be something similar to the RBF phenomena.
I will freely admit however that im intentionally condescending when people act that way towards me first, which is completely justified
