What's a word for a person that hates to be wrong?

What do you call a person that thinks they're right all time and hates to be wrong?

My best friend is cool and all but i noticed that anytime i try to correct him or help him out with something he'd make it seem as if i as the one who's wrong .

We could be playing co-op online and i would tell him that he's going the wrong way and some how he'll still find a way to say that i'm the one who's wrong . What's worse is when he hears a rumor and tell people about it as it's a fact then when proven wrong he would be like "nah, i knew that" .

What is the word for this type of mindset?

Depends on their M.O. There are a couple words.
Egocentric. Conceited. Sanctimonious. Smug.

But before you use any of these words, double-check the definition to make sure it fits.

Nah, self righteous applies more to someone that thinks they are better than you cause they do things you don't or are better at things ur not good at.

On a different note, someone who always claims to be right or always thinks he's right could be called a know it all.

[Bunchy Carter]

I have a auntie who is like that. She hates being wrong and it's to a point where she knows she going to be wrong and then she self correct herself in the midst of the conversation; to be right.

One day I went to visit my aunt and she was boiling eggs on a hotplate; that was sitting on top of a deep fryer. I said auntie that's not safe because it's unbalanced; you should not sit that on top of a deep fryer, place it on a flat surface.

My auntie look at me and back at the boiling glass pot sitting on top of the deep fryer and looked back at me; because she was trying to think of a comeback so she would not be wrong. So she got mad and said "we'll I just jave to wait until the water is not hot to take the eggs off."

People like you friend and my auntie are insecure about being wrong; because to them it's an insult to their intelligence, but really is just a lack of common sense.
