  • Jimmy did make some money, although it was usually through the sketchiest of means, like selling another persons business idea as his own, or finagling a loan from someone, or worse, talking someone into giving him equity in their start-up. He actually occasionally talked people into paying him to do some public speaking. (About what, I cant even imagine.) The worst part was that Jimmy believed his own bullshit. His delusion was so bulletproof, it was honestly hard to get mad at him, it was actually kind of amazing. Sometime in the 1960s, developing high self-esteemhaving positive thoughts and feelings about oneselfbecame all the rage in psychology. Research found that people who thought highly about themselves generally performed better and caused fewer problems. Many researchers and policymakers at the time came to believe that raising a populations self-esteem could lead to some tangible social benefits: lower crime, better academic records, greater employment, lower budget deficits. As a result, beginning in the next decade, the 1970s, self-esteem practices began to be taught to parents, emphasized by therapists, politicians, and teachers, and instituted into educational policy. Grade inflation, for example,

    • The word shocks me into nervous attention. D-d-drugs I stammer. What kind He looks at me sternly. I dont know; what kind do you have He opens one of my binders and checks the small pockets meant for pens. My sweat blossoms like a fungal growth. It spreads from my palms to my arms and now my neck. My temples pulsate as blood floods my brain and face. Like most thirteen-year-olds freshly accused of possessing narcotics and bringing them to school, I want to run away and hide. I dont know what youre talking about, I protest, the words sounding far meeker than Id like. I feel as if I should be sounding confident in myself right now. Or maybe not. Maybe I should be scared. Do liars sound more scared or confident Because however they sound, I want to sound the opposite. Instead, my lack of confidence compounds, unconfidence about my sounding unconfident making me more unconfident. That ing Feedback Loop from Hell. Well see about that, he says, turning his attention to my backpack, which seemingly has one hundred pockets. Each is loaded with its own silly teen desideratacolored pens, old notes passed in class, early-nineties CDs with cracked cases, dried-up markers, an old sketchpad with half its pages missing, dust and lint and crap accumulated during a maddeningly circuitous middle school existence. My sweat must be pumping at the speed of light, because time extends itself and dilates such that what is mere seconds on that 9:00 A.M. second-period biology clock now feels like Paleolithic eons, and Im grog up and dying every minute. Just me and Mr. Price and my bottomless backpack. Somewhere around the Mesolithic Age, Mr. Price finishes searching the backpack. Having found nothing, he seems flustered. He turns the pack

    each tick syncopated with the teachers dronings-on about chromosomes and mitosis. Like most thirteen-year-olds stuck in a stuffy, fluorescent classroom, I was bored. A knock came on the door. Mr. Price, the schools assistant principal, stuck his head in. Excuse me for interrupting. Mark, can you step outside with me for a moment Oh, and bring your things with you. Strange, I thought. Kids get sent to the principal, but the principal rarely gets sent to them. I gathered my things and stepped out. The hallway was empty. Hundreds of beige lockers converged on the horizon. Mark, can you take me to your locker, please Sure, I say, and slug myself down the hall, baggy jeans and moppy hair and oversized Pantera T-shirt and all. We get to my locker. Open it, please, Mr. Price says; so I do. He steps in front of me and gathers my coat, my gym bag, my backpackall of the lockers contents, minus a few notebooks and pencils. He starts walking away. Come with me, please, he says, without looking back. I start to get an uneasy feeling. I follow him to his office, where he asks me to sit down. He closes the door and locks it. He goes over to the dow and adjusts the blinds to block the view from outside. My palms begin to sweat. This is not a normal principal visit. Mr. Price sits down and quietly rummages through my things, checking pockets, unzipping zippers, shaking out my gym clothes and placing them on the floor. Without looking up at me, Mr. Price asks, Do you know what Im looking for, Mark No, I say. Drugs.
    They call themselves life coaches and charge money to help others, even though theyre only twenty-five years old and havent actually accomplished anything substantial in their lives. Entitled people exude a delusional degree of self-confidence. This confidence can be alluring to others, at least for a little while. In some instances, the entitled persons delusional level of confidence can become contagious and help the people around the entitled person feel more confident in themselves too. Despite all of Jimmys shenanigans, I have to admit that it was fun hanging out with him sometimes. You felt indestructible around him. But the problem with entitlement is that it makes people need to feel good about themselves all the time, even at the expense of those around them. And because entitled people always need to feel good about themselves, they end up spending most of their time thinking about themselves. After all, it takes a lot of energy and work to convince yourself that your shit doesnt stink, especially when youve actually been living in a toilet. Once people have developed the thought pattern to constantly construe what happens around them as self-aggrandizing, its extremely hard to break them out of it. Any attempt to reason with them is seen as simply another threat to their superiority by another person who cant handle how smart/talented/good-looking/successful they are. Entitlement closes in upon itself in a kind of narcissistic bubble, distorting anything and everything in such a way as to reinforce itself. People who feel entitled view every occurrence in their life as either an affirmation of, or a threat to, their own greatness. If something good happens to them, its because of some amazing feat they accomplished.
    Yes, that confident, high-self-esteem Jimmy. The Jimmy who spent so much time talking about how good he was that he forgot to, you know, actually do something. The problem with the self-esteem movement is that it measured self-esteem by how positively people felt about themselves. But a true and accurate measurement of ones self-worth is how people feel about the negative aspects of themselves. If a person like Jimmy feels absolutely ing great 99.9 percent of the time, despite his life falling apart around him, then how can that be a valid metric for a successful and happy life Jimmy is entitled. That is, he feels as though he deserves good things without actually earning them. He believes he should be able to be rich without actually working for it. He believes he should be liked and well-connected without actually helping anyone. He believes he should have an amazing lifestyle without actually sacrificing anything. People like Jimmy become so fixated on feeling good about themselves that they manage to delude themselves into believing that they are accomplishing great things even when theyre not. They believe theyre the brilliant presenter on stage when actually theyre making a fool of themselves. They believe theyre the successful start-up founder when, in fact, theyve never had a successful venture.
