Why Entitled People Turn Other People Off and Trigger Them So Badly

As a psychologist, I have found that different personality traits are triggering to different people. For some, it's passive-aggressive people; for others, it's entitled people. I have found that the trait of entitlement in a person is one that often perplexes others, causing them to wonder, 'Why would they believe they deserve that? Do they really believe they are that special?'

Dealing with Someone in Your Life Who's Entitled: It's Never Enough

If you have someone in your life who has an entitled personality, it means that they act as if they deserve more than everyone else. They often believe that they are special and that others should recognize that and treat them accordingly.

To explain the entitled beliefs and behaviors, I recorded my new video below and I hope you find it helpful! Give it a second and see what you think!

Dr. Seth: Self-Care Tips for Labor Day

Labor Day, a day that was first celebrated in 1894, is meant to commemorate the American labor movement. Sometimes we need to actually take a moment and remind ourselves what the purpose of a particular holiday is for!

This Labor Day, take a moment to practice a good self-care activity that you might not normally do as a part of your week. Make an effort to take a nourishing bath if you're not a natural bath-taker, try a long walk if that's not usually your 'thing,' or try baking something fun and sharing with someone you care about!

My self-improvement videos on my YouTube channel, Dr. Seth: Psychologist, are always available for you, too!

Psychologist Commentary: Why Are So Many Young Adult Men Lonely?

Britney Spears sang about her loneliness in her massive worldwide 1998 hit, "...Baby One More Time." But a recent Gallup survey, with data from 2023 and 2024, found that a high number of men are feeling lonely, too. In fact, the survey found that 1 in 4 men report feeling lonely. That is quite a high percentage, and you may have thoughts about why that is.

First, does this statistic match what you have seen in your own life? Have you come across a lot of young men who feel isolated or lonely? The other question that's important to ask: Are these men engaging in positive ways to try to solve the problem?

In my new video on my YouTube channel, Dr. Seth: Psychologist, I talk about this issue. I also have hundreds of self-improvement videos available for you on my channel that you can check out!
