Making fun of people for admitting they don't know things.

I wish more guys just said they didn't know something instead of clearly not knowing what they're talking about and running their mouth based on vibes
A friend of mine keeps doing this. He'll pretend to be an expert of fucking anything, and you can generally tell immediately that he doesn't know shit. When he goes on about things that I actually do know things about it's unbearable, and of course his ego is too fragile to handle being told he's wrong.
We have a lot of impressive common friends with awesome general knowledge, and I frequently wonder how the hell we have the patience to keep him around. My general knowledge is shite, but at least I'm quite open about being ignorant.
He's hyper sensitive about social situations, yet introducing him to new people is almost always embarrassing.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he is a professional psychologist.
Your friend is Jordan Peterson
Thank god he is guaranteed to hate Jordan Peterson - he has redeeming qualities as well. But reading back my comment it's uncanny how much it sounds like him.
