The Know it all

You all know one or maybe your related to one, that annoying person who is always there to criticise any purchase made or any decision you may make about your life. They are the one that is standing there telling you that you should of consulted them before purchasing your new TV or your new car. They even tell you what your kids are going to be like when they are older. Or they are telling your relatives and friends behind your back, while to your face they are all nice and positive.  

Nope they aren't psychic, just bloody annoying. You'll invite them over to see your new purchase, and instantly it's "Oh, these TVs always do this," or "You should of taken me with you to purchase your car." They are not electronic experts, they don't know shit about cars, and yet they seem to think they must be consulted before every purchase. You come to dread telling them anything about your life or recent purchases, you avoid them like the plague, but they always seem to find out and deflate your happy mood. 

And it's not just the know it all, it's the negative nellies too. Constantly looking at the bad side of life, ummmm hello we know there are bad things that happen, but for once just be happy for me.  I love to deflate the negative nellie, they will start talking about all the bad things that will happen when so and so does something, or talk about the recent purchase that can't be good for them. I jump in with, "Really, I don't agree. If this is what they want then I'm happy for them. There is enough tragedy in the world to waste time being negative." They then change their tact and start agreeing with me LOL. Honestly don't they have anything better to do that bitch about everything or tell you what your doing wrong. I'm happy so just fuck off. 

Of course when I am deflating them, I'm not mean about it, I am just enforcing the positives and taking pleasure in deflating them LOL. Too many people in this world are like that. They will take any good thing that has happened and turn it around to doom and gloom. Unfortunately when your related to them, it's hard to get away from them, if you are just friends with them you can avoid them, something I take great pleasure in doing:)

They also seem to always be down about something, getting a smile out of them seems to take forever, and even if you do manage it, they spoil it all by making some sarcastic comment in the attempt to bring you down. They seem to have had the hardest lives, but when you question them, their lives have been no harder than your own. It's the choice they have made to be always looking at the negative. Hey look at the bright side, you woke up breathing this morning didn't ya, life doesn't get any better than that LOL. 

So while I do know some people like this, I don't care. They can be downers all they want, I'm not taking it and I'm not letting them draw me into it. I actually feel sorry for them. While I have days that I don't want to get our of bed, or days that I'm so depressed I barely function. I don't pass it on. When one of the kids tells me something that has happened, I enthuse with them, I don't pick it apart and tell them what they should of bought or done. And my kids will enthuse with me, cause I don't. They will share things with me and it's all because of the attitude. No one is sharing with the know it all or negative nellie, and they only have themselves to blame.
