The point of Skepticism isn't to say "I'm right," as much as it's saying "You're probably not right." To be 'sure' of anything is both a bias and uncertainty. Does this mean that everything is a lie? Not necessarily. No one really knows. Skepticism isn't meant to instill ideals, thus it isn't contradictory of itself. Rather, it's meant to allow for objective interpretation.
My observation is no more credible than yours, thus, they both have equal 'truthiness.' To understand skepticism is to understand that anything can and probably should be taken with a grain of salt...there's just too many perceptions and "truths."
If you look deep enough into any "truth," you get to a point where you can't go any further. If we can't get to the root of anything, how can we absolutely profess it to be true?
