Have you ever encountered a know-it-all to the point where it gets annoying?

It's true, the Powerpuff girls were not voiced by child actors but by adult women. Most child characters in cartoon series are voiced by adult women because traditionally, most cartoon characters don't age or only age a little, and most women have high pitched voices so they can do the character for years when a real kid's voice would have very likely changed. Just look at Nancy Cartwright, who voices Bart Simpson. The teacher is a real know nothing know it all.

Yeah, I've been working in my field for quarter of a century, but I've stopped offering my input. Usually get shot down not on the content but because my lived-experience means I couldn't possibly offer comment of any value. Haven't worked out how that relates to facts I'm providing, but still, unless I'm invited on a panel, to keynote or asked specifically for my opinion, I keep it shut. Otherwise you risk getting shamed, not for being wrong, but for being the wrong type of person.

I hear you, Have this same problem, it's the black and white thing of a small mistake making everything seem broken. I still mentally cringe, probably once a week or so, at the time 30 years ago I sung the wrong lyrics to a song. No-one is a harder critic of me than I am.
 
Unfortunately, I think I was the know-it-all when I was in school. I was a straight A student which I realize now is because I have an unhealthy tendency towards perfectionism (probably because of my perpetually disappointed and dissatisfied parents.) No one liked me in school, not even in college.

Now I sometimes avoid infodumping and sharing random knowledge on purpose, because people find me less irritating if they think I’m stupid and boring.

People who are homophobic, racist and transphobic always seem to think in absolutes and that anything they believe or agree with is indisputable. Even if they are presented with factual information that says otherwise.

Same. My parents are those kinds of people too, for example my mom believes her opinions are facts.

And when I called her out saying that’s a lie and the history books in my school say otherwise. She replied with “you’re just listening to what other people say, meanwhile I’m here for and speak the truth (aka her AGENDA). That’s just what YOU want to believe”. Then she added “do you want to listen to a person’s agenda, or do you want to hear the truth?”.

I’m also familiar with Nancy Cartwright, who did a bunch of voices back in the 80’s and 90’s. Not to mention in the Simpsons, she also played the voices of Nelson and Ralph, along with many others.

That sounds so intensely random. Like, two guys are arguing and it's like

Friendly guy: "You know, you're being really kinda unfair about that thing you were saying"

Mean guy: "FROG in a BOAT"

Friendly guy: "....what?"

Mean guy, smugly: "yeah, you heard me"
 
Your geometry teacher sounds like a brat. I'm going to take a guess and say, based on you stating that he's a 90s kid, this guy was either in his very late 20s or 30s at the time, to which I'll say that's quite a lack of maturity (and possible abuse of power) on his behalf.

"all modern cartoons suck"...OK, so nothing constructive beyond that statement? Did he ever care to elaborate on his opinions at all? As another 90s kid, I find his behavior embarrassing and I firmly disagree with his statement. The massive fanbases all of those modern shows have should be proof enough that he's clearly got no idea what he's saying.

That happens a lot lately and it's very distasteful. Misrepresenting someone's beliefs through what they talk about, mrp someone's actions and points, while pretending it is them who don't understand. It's often done on purpose, and there is nothing to warrant that belief and especially, regardless of the feeling or trigger, to warrant such action. Ask yourself, would you do it if you were in that spot? I think it comes down to personality as well.

Beliefs and interpretations are dangerous, there are many points to someone's way of thinking, understanding of the world, often understood through extensive discussion. People need to explore points of view, including monologue themselves through them.

Throwing labels on people is not productive as it distances them from individuality and doesn't account for the difference between personal perception and depersonalized and alien truth, as well as the ideas a person creates while thinking.

Sorry you had to go through that. There is place for better.
 
When I was splitting up with the girl I almost married she said "All men always think they're always right, I expect that. The trouble with you is that you are always right and it hits me up the wall!"

I honestly don’t really care anymore if people got uncomfortable of the mistakes I made, I learned to accept that making mistakes are human and I shouldn’t be ashamed of making mistakes no matter how many times they kept screaming in my face on how wrong I am.

The people who did that to me were nt’s and they admitted they were and I was the person who easily had a meltdown because I was also an HSP.

I don’t want people talking garbage about us HSP’s saying that we’re too butthurt and hate being heard the cold hard facts, because in reality, we don’t hear the facts but instead hear the harshness and shaming in their voices whether it was intended or not.

The world is a very not wonderful place, like some people tend to believe. It happened to me throughout my life thousands of times, unfortunately I think it happens a lot to people, especially spectrum people.

I've been through many uncomfortable situations, but I never was in the situation of the embarrassment of these teachers. :joycat:

You're too butthurt if you're getting treated wrong and discriminated against for lower grades, is a way of switching the responsibility of the wrong treatment. Wrong treatment is unfair and creates negative emotion, suffering. I'm not gonna attack my teacher but I might feel bad about it, especially as a child who thinks their value in life is grades, because it has been conditioned that way, and because it is important in career seeking to some level.

Apparently, having a well-thought-out rational argument and defending it against fallacious thinking is considered condescension by some.
"Interesting." :cool:
 
In relationships people are allowed to get annoyed at even the way someone eats, but, in other areas things kinda change in terms of how people expect people to feel.

I think humans are ridden with all sorts of annoyances that are unique to them, we all get annoyed with small things and each other. Depending on our stress levels, on our previous experiences etc. we might be more annoyed with something/someone.
