Why Do people hate being told what they already know?

Yeah ur right but u know some ppl ought to shut up and watch u ..to see if u can do whatever without help. Learn to step back and let other ppl do things too. Had a mother in law that just had to tell me what to do every second she was around me. drove me nuts. So i told her to have at it and step back. That shut her up.

Often, people know what the truth is, but choose to act like they belive what they know not to be true, because its easier. If its too hard for us to contain in ourselves, our brain makes it easier. An example is death. We all know we're going to die one day but no one belives it, or acts like they do.

When you ask someone a question it is normally to validate what you already know. \nWhen someone says it thats what they want to hear

because people can be ignorant.

i hear u 100%-- its like if u cant tell the truth be on ur way- u want the real deal, its like it makes them feel good inside hurting others which means they got issues and someone needs 2 get them in check. i been lied 2 so many times and it suxs. for people who do that i think need 2 grew up and take a look at everything.

because some people are afraid to pay attention to a few little details and to get to know people who are a little different than themselves...

I just asked this question in different words and got some great answers. I think people are afraid of what they don't know, and these people have lived sheltered lives so there is A LOT they don't know and aren't familiar with. I guess they think it's easier to try and rid the world of the things that scare them than to learn to live with them.

get someone to feed them some false information (or do it yourself) but something that they could believe, something small and trivial. if you hear the stuff that you made up back from someone else then you'll know. people can be really jealous of others and unless you hear the same thing from two people that don't know each other then i suggest that you take it with a grain of salt.\ntry the suggestion above, it works. a real friend should come right to you and tell you. or keep your trust.

When your 16 you think you already know everything.  So why listen to anyone else when you already have all the answers.

one word Denial people dont like thinking this could happen to people they know, they have no experience in dealing with it

a know it all..its ok when they are right, but it annoys the h*** out of me when they are wrong and are too self-centered to admit it.

It is probably the thing that annoys me the most on here. In our modern world of easily accessible information, ignorance is very unnecessary.

It's because they want a taste of "the real world" and want to believe they know everything.They're growing up, and they want their say in things.\nAnd to tell you the truth, age and how many years you've lived on the earth shouldn't be important. Everybody is an equal. Adults learn, they forget. Teenagers learn too, but they forget. Some know more than others. Some know less than others. The things one person might know might be more advanced than another's thoughts. What a person knows shouldn't make them any smarter than anybody else.\nFor example, somebody might know a TON about sports.\nSomebody may not. That somebody may know a lot about music, which the sports genius doesn't.\n\nTeenagers just want to know they're becoming an adult.

Sometimes, when folks learn a new truth, they get real excited about going out and sharing it with others. Unfortunately some of them will ruin their credibility (and God's) by being kinda pushy about it. \nIt's kinda like giving a child a new toy. If you leave them alone with it for too long they become dangerous with it.

cause they r stupid or they never knew that other people already asked the same question

I hate that, too.  I'd guess it's because they're really afraid of who they truly are.  I like the 'what you see is what you get' types, myself.

Man you are coming with some good questions!! People that keep their minds in little small boxes are scared to see the big truth. They are comfortable in their little box, full of narrow mindness and ignoarance. You are absolutely right my freind, when you tell people something that goes against what they have learned or even better, things that they don't know, they get so offended and take it personal!! How can people love to be in denial!??! Doesn't it remind you of the narrowed minded people that were told that the Earth was round and the public killed them!?!?
