No one likes a know-it-all.
I learned this early in my life through both secular school and Sunday School. I was the nerdy kid who knew most of the answers. I was self-assured, well-taught, and extroverted enough to never have much of a problem raising my hand and answering the question.
Then I became a teenager, and wondered what happened to my peers. Suddenly, they totally lost a pulse, and getting them to comment in school, answer a question, or even have an opinion was like pulling teeth sometimes. I never really suffered from this teenage phenomenon. Sure, I was concerned with being cool and fitting in….
… well, actually I wasn’t. I was more concerned about being right.
