Nah, "know it all" people don't actually think they know everything. It's just a front they put on, for the ego.
Although, many "know it all" types do become conceited through the simple fact that they are usually pretty smart people in the first place. I mean, you can't be a know it all and correct people all the time if you don't know what you're correcting! Having a shitty personality is common among the "bright" as they realise their intelligence through observation, it then results by becoming a huge part of their self esteem. Really smart people are quite sensitive about being incorrect. I've seen it so many times being a people watcher and silent learner.
Ofcourse there are stupid ones like you say, but most of them are bright. It's their pathetic personalities that get to you. There's no way of knowing how smart the person infront of you really is, but you can see that ugly soul a mile off.
Is it normal that I don't like self conceited persons?
