How do you respond to people who constantly say, “I already knew that!”?

[@1matrixup]

And I thought I was alone with this issue, I can see it happens to others .

[@adriandolewski6536]

Thank you for this Marie. The topics you talk about are so real and happen to a lot of us but they are so rarely talked about that I cant ever find an answer unless I watch your channel❤

[@clint120]

I have a neighbor that says this all the time. And yes, taking Marie’s suggestion. I say something snarky, ‘well congratulations! ‘

[@breakthroughmoment1647]

Not everything one says has to be “groundbreaking” or “earth-shattering.” There isn’t an original thought that hasn’t already been thought or said by somebody else. So, say it anyway! Fully agree, Marie, they’re not going to muzzle us.

[@MsActor2009]

It stems from jealousy and competitiveness. Most nice people say “I heard about that too, isn’t it great?”then they proceed to chat about it with you!

[@DeirdreB-fu1qb]

That's true !! Just talk about the weather and go take a nap or a walk

[@MsActor2009]

They are so insecure , that’s why they feel they need to let you know that they know with a cranky tone…. Somehow you trigger their insecurities.

[@111Phoenix777]

I avoid talking to people like this unless I have to.

[@ej5000]

Me too

[@JF59122]

Is she talking about people telling you something they're excited about or something that happened in their life, or people telling you things that are common sense "like if you want a spoon open the drawer" cause when people tell me stuff like this and treat me like I'm stupid, then I'm always like "I know how to do that"

[@Ninjamama22]

It’s rude and mean spirited as is “Ya think?”

[@davidsbookcase]

This is a great video. Thanks for making it. Even if I already know something, I always listen to what the person has to say. In many cases, I receive details that I was unaware of.

[@MsActor2009]

Sometimes I gently touch their arm, then sweetly smile and say “oh, I know you know a lot more than I do, but this is completely new and I got excited and I just wanted to share”.

Hello Marie, thank you so much for more of your awesome excellent advice! Have a wonderful Friday tomorrow and a great weekend ahead my awesome beautiful friend! 😊🌹

[@jldg256]

Hi Marie, thank you for all of your great advice! I need some advice too. How to handle a friend that constantly interrups when I tell a personal experience, to extensively comment on it. She then continues with her own story, when I haven't completely told mine. Of course I am interested in her comments, but it feels like she takes over my story and I am left feeling unheard.

[@Elayzee]

You are so insightful. Thanks for this. :)

[@keith96969]

Every video you post is always relevant I notice it even happens to me before the video or after. Thank you for all your advice.

[@ChuuChuu777]

Hello Marie! Not only do they play the “I already knew that” card, they also downplay any success or good things you tell them. I just avoid them altogether.

[@mariedubuque]

Exactly!

[@DeirdreB-fu1qb]

Oooh boy !! I hear you on that one !! They are almost always trying to one up you too !! So exhausting ! What can you say to them... Ooh well you're so perfect in every single way .. Please tell me more . I sure don't want to miss a thing . Why even the black holes in your soul are perfectly round ! Wow she chose a winner through & through .

[@DeirdreB-fu1qb]

Your outfit is so cute I'd love a blouse with that print !

[@Rubyisgrowing]

Does this go for someone who has always already been there, tried that food, watched that show?

[@annamayyy9771]

Please can you do a video on nosy people that ask you whats wrong and when u tell them they make it seem like they werent interested to begin with.

[@tv-21]

You dont tell them anything!

[@allen0088]

I just kiss their forehead in response

[@cloudair4154]

my ex g/f used to say "u already told me that" over and over.. it took me a while to realize she was just saying it to shut me down

[@fluorescentbubbles6498]

Hi Marie, can you please do a video on friends that you always give emotional support to, and then in times when you need it they say “i don’t know what to say” or they “get scared” of you crying? Because of this girl, I felt like a complete weirdo for even opening up and expressing my thoughts and feelings. However, whenever she needed help or support I always listened to her and never judged her. She will be my future SIL one day, so I cannot COMPLETELY cut her out of my life. Recently it’s only been me keeping contact with her, but i stopped. What should I do?

[@fluorescentbubbles6498]

I am 20 years old. This girl is 23 and we’ve been best friends for around 4 years. When she was 19 her engagement broke off and I helped her come out of her depression. Even at the age of 15/16 I didn’t judge her and I gave her emotional support despite barely knowing her. After 4 years of barely receiving any emotional support, at least a kind listening ear, I received nothing. And I just kept on giving and giving into her victim mindset.

[@EmeraldD523]

Omg my sister I bought new perfume fragrance and her reply was i already know Lol she has not seen my new fragrance. Jealous

[@dorisw2507]

Can you give an example? I can't even think of an example of this. Like do you mean when some one accidentally tells me the same news again? If so I'm guilty of this. I say, oh yes, I remember you telling me this, but still let them continue if they want.
