I think when people say that sort of thing, what it really means is that they are fully aware of something you're trying to keep hidden.

My sweetie and one of my close friends are masters at this. They always know if something is bothering me, no matter how hard I try to keep it off the table. I tend to be one of those people who doesn't talk about things that are going wrong. I prefer to keep them to myself, deal with or fix them myself and not burden other people with them. My whole life is built around being "the one nobody ever has to worry about."

But these two are exceptional at knowing when "the rock" is about to crumble.

Yes, I agree. There are a couple of people in my life that know me well enough to know when I'm

hiding something as well.

Sometimes, however, it makes me a tad angry when they say that though, as I feel like they're

reaching right into my brain and invading it!

Whether its a mother, brother, sister, father, cousin, friend, stranger, etc. etc. What would you think of someone making that statement to you? And how would you reply?

I'd ask them to tell me how to stop this chronic masturbation problem.

If someone told me that they knew me better than I knew myself, I would tell them that they're full of shit. NOBODY knows me better than me, except God. If you're not God, then you better keep your mouth shut and not make such a statement to me, or I'll have to set the record straight.

This thread makes me think of the Kelly Clarkson song, "Mr. Know-It-All":

only way i would take that statement serious was if jesus christ himself told me otherwise id say kiss my black ass. most people that make statements like that dont know themselves that way 2 be making assestments on others.

Thank U!

I would expect fam to say it. Especially if they've been raising me for 26 years of life. If some lucky stranger who reads people says it, I'd test their ass with all sorts of wacky questions to shut 'em down. Not too many people know the real me. The only person who REALLY knows is an 84 year old woman with big pretty eyes.

She even knows my taste in sweaters--long and black, or dark and flowy. I love that woman.

Mr know it all
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Ain't it something y'all
When somebody tells you something bout you
Think that they know you more than you do
So you take it down another pill to swallow

Mr bring me down
Well ya like to bring me down don't ya
But I ain't laying down, baby
I ain't going down
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be
Nobody gonna make a fool out of me
Baby you should know that I lead not follow

[Chorus]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

Mr play your games
Only got yourself to blame
When you want me back again
But I ain't falling back again
Cause I'm living my truth without your lies
Let's be clear baby this is goodbye
I ain't coming back tomorrow

[Chorus]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

[Bridge]
So what, you've got the world at your feet
And you know everything about everything
But you don't
You still think I'm coming back but baby you'll see

[Chorus]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

Mr know it all
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

Love this song! I have a couple of "Mr. Know it Alls" in my life, so I can definitely relate to this tune.
