Hello, question asker! I'm your answerer, Enoch, and I'm excited to help!
From the questioner's description, it seems that the questioner has encountered someone in the workplace who loves to show off and likes to tell others what to do. This makes the questioner feel very helpless, but there's an opportunity here for growth!
The colleague described by the questioner may be a person with an A-type personality. Such people often have a strong desire for control, like to dominate others in interpersonal relationships, like others to obey them, and often feel very good about themselves, with some pride inside. They are confident in their abilities and often point fingers at the people around them, which can lead to lively discussions. They always feel that others don't do things as well as they do, which keeps them motivated to improve.
For this type of person, others often feel uncomfortable when they get along with each other, so it is better to try to keep an appropriate distance. If contact is unavoidable, try not to argue with the other person, and try to maintain recognition of the other person's views. This way, everyone will avoid a lot of trouble. If you express different opinions to the other person, the other person often cannot accept it, and sometimes they may even act in an extreme way. But don't worry! There are ways to handle this.
And there's more! These folks have the same attitude towards everyone. They're not targeting a specific person, but rather people with this personality trait.
Everyone has a different personality, and we get to interact with all kinds of fascinating people! When we have to deal with them, we get to adjust ourselves to get along with different people.

None of my business! I would simply ignore them and focus on my own path.
None of my business! Maybe I'd laugh it off and walk away with confidence.
None of my business! I'd remind myself that everyone has their own journey and not compare.
None of my business! I might tell them politely that I appreciate their input but prefer to decide for myself.
None of my business! Perhaps I would challenge them to reflect on their own achievements instead.
