When Being Right Makes You Wrong

Is it possible to think that everyone is wrong despite self-confidence in thier own beliefs while simultaneously being self-confident in your own belief that everyone is wrong?

Wouldn't you then be the exception that proved the rule?

Or you could think that everyone including yourself is wrong? But if you are also wrong, then there is reason to doubt your assertion. In which case, everyone could be right. But then you would be wrong. Which makes you right?!?!

This assumes that the world is black and white and that there always is one right and one wrong. Maybe I'm the exception that proves the rule, but I'm pretty sure that the world and how to live in it is really a lot more gray.
