Understanding the "Self Proclaimed Expert" Mentality

The self proclaimed expert mindset, comes from having a poor self awareness and poor self acceptance, regarding their own ability to understand something. Instead of looking at the actual facts, they see it through, opinions or half truths based on stereotypes.

Especially in in the healthcare industry, how many people hear things such as, I was watching this YouTube video about "big pharma" mental health issues are made up. Or fad diets that exploit actual issues, such as celiac disease, and sell over priced gluten free products. That really has no additional benefits, other than for the person selling it to you.

The best way to deal with this is to focus on facts, getting stressed out over a know it all. Is like getting stressed out about a person who tells you 1+1=3 not 2, even though that's a simplistic way to look at I. It still makes the same point. Which is why in today's world learning the actual facts, is as important as ever.
