We all know some one or the other who suffers from this syndrome - what they do, say, act is always right & if you don’t agree with them you know nothing!
How do you handle some people? If its some one outside the family, I usually keep quiet or change the topic. But when it comes to a close family member I don’t know what to do about it 
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
well depends on the nature of your relationship. If you think your relation is strong, you can always tell them lovingly and politely. They will come to terms eventually. But if its someone you believe your relationship can be put to stake if you show them the mirror, you better mind your own business and let them live in their vain world. Life, even if not you, will show them one day their worth.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
I have that with my brother. I believe he has this problem, he thinks I have it. :P We love each other enough to agree to disagree, or get pissed off and storm out only to return wandering half an hour later and open up a totally new topic simply to have a reason to sit together.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
My uncles are like that. They are always right even if they don't know jack about what's being discussed. It's so annoying. They are so critical of everything you do and nothing you do is good enough and if you do it their way ur damned, and ur still damned if you don't; you can't win!..
So the best solution to this problem is just to ignore them. Agree with everything they say, let it in o ne ear and out the other and then just do whatyou were going to do anyway.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
Ask them a sequence of questions in such a way that makes them realise their own deficiencies ... then before they realise what you are up to ... say "I get it now" ... and say back to them exactly what you wanted to say in the beginning "even if it blatantly contradicts their initial point" and walk off.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
Ask Milly how she deals with me. I think she does quite well.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
Though every of us sometimes do it but some people are at too pinnacle and i know Its very hard to handle such people
One of my good friends has this syndrome. Sometimes it really gets difficult to handle her. Every other friend tells her that what she is saying is right to some extent but she should understand that no one is perfect but she is like no "when I know i am right then why should i care about others". And mostly her statements are totally dissimilar to others. May be the a concision or unconscious try to look unique.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
In my opinion, if a person has a valid, reasonable justification for their opinion, they are right. I give them credit for it.

how manipulative!
I'd rather present my point of view and if they doesnt accept it, then i could care less. It doesnt matter if someone agrees with you or thinks they r right or u r right. At the end of the day, most of us end up doing what we want anyways...no?
Re: ‘I’m always right!’ syndrome
people can think they’re right, they should just have the ability to
listen to others
not be clouded by their own opinions and ideas
not regard others as being wrong, just because they personally don’t see things in someone else’s way
it’s just called having clarity of thought and self-awareness 
no one is ever completely right. I personally let such people think I am believing everything they are saying and let them live in their little bubble of rigid viewpoints 
I have this acquaintance who thinks she has it all figured out regarding something and whatever someone else does is of a lower value, lol. [she’s in for a shock 
]
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
I apologize, i dont mean to play the devil's advocate here but I actually like people with STRONG viewpoints. Significant change is usually made by people who have very firm opinions and belief in themselves. I like people who don't easily let go of their opinion. I dont see it as being 'clouded by their own opinions'. If someone has a strong opinion and they have all the evidence to back it up, then others around them need to come up with just as strong evidence - thats fair.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
strong viewpoints are different from "memememe" "iamrightandyousuck" type of opinions in a conversation.
all depends on the context if you're talking about strong viewpoints and going on to become a bill gates/steve jobs...that's a totally different topic :p has more to do with innovation, originality, ability to think
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
^but the strong-opinionated ones are usually always perceived as "always being right'..especially when people around them can't bring out a strong enough arguement for their opinions.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
Think of it this way...if I have a strong, valid opinion but my logic is 10 times stronger than yours, why should I accept ur opinion or consider it valid or acceptable? And if I dont accept it, I will be referred to as 'always thinking she is right'..lol
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
who said anything about considering it valid or accepting it?
rarely do people agree with anything someone says. It's about realizing you're opinion holds true for you, but there are other views too. logic varies from person to person. what is a strong, valid opinion? I am talking purely conversational stuff. Validity....again, lets start by defining it.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
My point is that you cannot expect everyone you converse with to 'realize' there are other views too until you PRESENT your view in a manner that holds weight.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
lol, in YOUR head your views hold weight, point is to understand exactly that. just because they make sense does not make them correct,true,valid,logical.
Re: 'I'm always right!' syndrome
There are some absolutes where there can be no compromise. In other words, there is no middle gorund. Some examples:
1) We need to conserve energy
2) recycle
3) Climate change deniers are the arm of certain corporations
4) Drug laws are unfair to minorities
5) War on drugs has been a total failure
6) You dont achieve permanent peace through wars.
Each of the above is non-negotiable. So proponents of such opinions should not concede ground and should stick to their courage of conviction.
On the other hand, those who hold the oppposite opinion for each of these examples - they are the ones with the syndrome being discussed - I am always right, no matter the amount of eveidence against my stance.
