Got ghosted? Why is it so common and why does it hurt so much

09/28/21 • 27 min

Ask The Psychologist

Ever been with someone and they just simply ignore you? Pretend like you don't exist and never existed? Well unfortunately that is a common experience in today's society where people get 'ghosted', even when they think that things have been going well in the new relationship! We talk about why that 'special someone' might ghost you and what does this mean about them - as more often than not this is a reflection of them (the 'ghoster'), not you. Listen and share!

Why so selfish?

In this episode we talk about why people feel as though they are entitled to things in life like money, items, achievements, services etc. Entitlement is often seen as a negative thing though a lot of us do it, and more often than not we become enraged if we do not have our desires met. But are there times when entitlement can be helpful in promoting our self-worth? Listen and share!

What makes us competitive?

Here I am joined by Dr Abigail Methley as we talk about what drives us to be competitive and our personal journeys of being competitive in order to progress in life. We also question if it is possible for us to progress as far in life without being ruthless with our competitive streak. Listen and share!
