How do you deal with friends who think they are better?
Just say, “cool” or “congratulations,” and change the subject. If your friends are genuinely more knowledgeable about a topic than you are, it’s fine to be respectful of their knowledge, but if they are acting so superior that they refuse to let you contribute to the conversation, you need to stand up for yourself.

How do you deal with a friend who won’t change?
Even if they don’t change, however, you can still be proud of yourself for being a good friend and trying to help them. You can stage an intervention by yourself, but if you have other friends who are also affected by the behavior, a group intervention may be even more effective. Set boundaries.
