Jesus even said: "Do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they turn and rend you." Sometimes this happens! Occasionally you share something deep or interesting that you know but people don't want to hear it. Perhaps it's not always the "know-it-all" factor that prevents them from enjoying what you share, but perhaps the inability or lack of desire to learn something out of one's comfort zone. It's not easy to withhold advice/knowledge if you feel you have it and you could share it but you know that it is perhaps not your place/time/situation to share.
