you're completely right about something that no one thought you were right about? Do you have the tendency to "see i told you so" during such moments?
I'm not one to do it for more serious matters, but otherwise, I rub it in deep.

Usually I get the "It's wrong!" reactions from people. Then I say "You're a moron!" and walk away.
I usually only say "I told you so" when I'm facetiously mocking a friend. If it's something serious and a person I dislike, I'll just think "serves you right" in a self-satisfied way and then dismiss it.

Even when I’m right I start doubting myself so I get no satisfaction from it.

My parents seem to be convinced that, despite sending me off to college and my living pretty much on my own for two years, I'm suffering mental retardation and that the money they spend on tuition hasn't actually been teaching me anything, because anything I try to teach them, they're convinced I'm wrong about.
So all of the time I'll make a point or I'll do something (ex: During a discussion about the weather, I told them that in the winter, right against the water in the Atlantic, where we live, actually tends to feel slightly warmer, because the ocean retains summer heat and loses it very slowly - pretty basic stuff) , they'll say I'm obviously wrong and stupid and that makes no sense. I then explain it again, more simply, saying I learned it in biology in both high school and university. They'll insist I'm wrong - one of my parents actually tried to make an example saying that a teacup is more hot on the outside than the inside, or something, to refute my claim. It made no sense.
I then I have to make another person Google it for them to believe me.
Times a million times forever. I can't even muster a "told you so." It's just a feeling of wanting to scream. XD
Well it rarely happens with me and Daniel but once when he was wrong and I was right I shoved it in his face for about three days! Yes I was RIGHT DANIEL!![]()
@Rye: Yeah, sounds kinda like my parents too. I like to call it "old people syndrome": because they're older, they're automatically right. Because we're young, we're automatically "naiive and wrong about everything" and we "don't understand how the world works." :rolleyes2
@SK: Oh yeah, I know how that feels. xD I'm the same way.
It depends. If I had a huge argument over it, I tend to rub it in real well. I love being right.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I admire people like you. Whenever I'm hopelessly correct and everybody's wrong I get really mad, because I shouldn't have to be the only one correct. I feel that there's something wrong, something queer about the situation.
I can be correct and just explaining the issue to somebody else, who then agrees. That's okay and I don't feel bad. But if I am correct after a lot of arguing, I think the argument itself was pointless.
Like arguing with theists. Or pokemon anti-fans.
