How can i explain this to her?
Answer:
Sorry to say, but most people aren't big enough to admit they're wrong. Pointing out that someone is wrong will never get you anywhere with someone who isn't confident enough to be open to improving herself through admission of her own mistakes. I don't think there's any good way to approach this. I'd suggest getting some better friends.
I've had a similar problem. Some people just cannot admit being wrong, as if that somehow negates all of their opinions. Everyone is wrong at some point, and it takes someone mature and intelligent to admit it. If you never admit being wrong or apologize for it, you cannot grow emotionally. You will be like a three year old the rest of your life.
Unfortunately, you can't. I have a best friend (who is also very insecure) with problems all the time. He calls me all the time for advice and I feel like his personal psychologist. But when it comes to his actions, he rarely, if ever, takes my advice. The result is of course he gets himself deeper into trouble or needs more advice. And then he calls me again.
Anyway, to answer your question better, the best thing you can do is let them know you are trying to help and from your experience this is what you recommend. Tell your friend that you believe she is wrong, but it is her life. But let her know, that you will always be her friend, and you just want to see her happy, but it doesn't seem like she is making the right decisions.
You can't change people or their habits, you can only hope to help them. Sometimes it does, but know you did your best on your end to make them see the light. That's all you can ask of yourself.
What I'm getting here is that she wants to please people by sharing what she knows, but the thing is, if she's insecure, she would admit that she's wrong if she were to give out wrong information/advice. If she can't admit she's wrong, then she's probably too confident about herself.
Oh...so I think it's more of pride she's proud of, not insecurity for people's judgment. Maybe she gives out information to feel important, but doesn't want to be wrong because it could give her the insecure feeling, and people would judge her based on the wrong things about her.
