Fine line between "know it all" and not getting your thoughts out

This is somthing that has plagued me for many years, everywhere in my life. Where is the fine line between being considered a "know it all"(as in, you act like you know it all but you dont and people resent you for it), and not talking enough to get your thoughts out.

I had my own mother just this morning make the ignorant statement of "well you have aspergers so you think you know it all", and this weekend my grandmother told me she thought I thought everyone else was an idiot.

Frankly this whole problem makes me feel like an idiot, because in my mind I've never thought I've known everything, if I did I would hate myself because of the hubris.

Essentially this might have put me in a seeming position of thinking I'm an idiot so I talk even more than I normally would to make up for it. Or somthing like that.

I'm left wondering, how many people resent me, and how many people avoid me, because of this.
