(Original Air Date: 02/20/06) Meet three women who each admit to being a "bitch" and proud of it! Kristine, Teresa and Lois all say their demanding bitchiness gets them what they want when they want it. But Dr. Phil challenges their thinking. Is it really working for them? What is behind their bitchy bias, and would their lives change for the better with an attitude adjustment? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Constant B****ing Shows your mentality

In my opinion there is no reason just to B**** and Complain, other than you just have a very low opinion of yourself that you want others to completely dislike you.  If a person has been wronged and you need to defend yourself then there is a proper way to go about the issue.  You don't need to yell, scream, name call and be ugly to be heard.  Doing all of those things listed just make you appear like you went back to being a bratty child that has had no discipline or doesn't know any different yet.  A person can be very effective with proper word usage and tone of voice (NOT SCREAMING).  I am not saying that a person should not defend themselves or beliefs, by all means do so.  But do it in a mature manner.  Acting like a B**** makes you very ugly, and NO ONE wants to be around you.  If you want to see what you look like when your B****ing at someone, please go in your bedroom or bathroom and start in like you were yelling at someone that you think you are superior to and notice the ugly faces you make.  Not only does B****ing make you ugly on the inside, the faces you make are hideous.  No I am not some meek little mouse that takes a bunch of guff from people, but when I am in the right I do get positive results.  If the QUEEN B's like being hated that is really sad, just think you are going to live a very lonely life, and when you pass on whos going to want to pay respects to you at the funeral home.  Only the ones glad to see you gone are going to be there.

Bitchy

  Maybe these women are onto something. I recently moved to south Florida and most of the women here are like the first guest. It is almost impossible to survive in an environment with out retaliating with the same behavior. I am assertive but also compassionate and polite and it absolutely doesn't work here. People will take advantage of you - they dont understand the concept of respect for others ; it is only about themselves. Looking at these people from the outside, i dont want to be like them but  I don't think i can survive if I don't.

Makes me sad

To everyone who brags aboug being a "B" - it's such a common phrase "life is short", but really think about it.  Do you want to waste your lives being so negative and hurtful to others.   

  

To those who admit to road rage.  We've all done something stupid on the road.  I know the other day I drove straight through a red light.  Fortunately, nobody was coming and there was no accident.  I'd just had a really unproductive day at work and wasn't thinking.  I'm not a bad driver - just had a bad day.  Thank goodness a "road rage" warrior wasn't there - I'd probably finished my day on a worse note. 

  

I'm also curious to know if these women work outside the home.  If so, do they display this type of behavior in the workplace, or are they able to stop being a "B" during work hours.   If they can hold their temper in their careers, they should also be able to contol this behavior in their personal ives. 

  

Why don't we all show at least one random act of kindness when we walk out our doors in the morning - believe me, it will make your day better also.

Used to be where they are

I used to think they way they are now.  I only hope that they will see over time that life is passing them by.  I had a bad home life, bad time in school and took it out on EVERYONE.  I started college to study Human Services and found myself.  I think that when people are mean, cruel, a "BITCH" they are so very insecure about themselves.  I hope that they learn before it's too late.  Take from someone who knows both sides of the track.

No. No, I'm not. :D

Today’s show demonstrated why the word ‘bitch’ is, and always will be, a curse word. 

  

  

The ladies’ behaviors had nothing to do with empowerment, self-esteem, value, power, achievement, etc. 

  

  

There is a clear line between aggressive and assertive. When you’re… 

  

  • yelling at strangers,
  • yelling at people who can’t hear you,
  • demanding compliance from someone in the service industry,
  • giving ultimatums to your spouse,
  • or have EVER uttered the phrase, “I want what I want, when I want it” after the age of THREE...

  

you‘re WAY ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LINE.

Selfish Twits

Quote From: chaimarie

Dr Phil was correct, if they could see themselves as other people see them they might think twice about how they're treating other people.   

  

Guest #1 - she's going through life treating the world the way a group of teenaged girls treated her in high school.   Time to grow up, you left high school behind years ago.  I found it interesting that she had a problem with the woman that needed film developed for her daughter's school project - okay for her to treat people badly but she can't take what she gives. 

  

Guest #2 - .....and this  is the man she loves and wants/wanted to spend the rest of her life with.  It's bad enough that she treats him like that, she needs to remember that she's raising children (boys).  Unfortunately at this rate she may be raising the next generation of women abusers or individuals that are going to continue that vicious life style. 

  

Guest #3 - I don't think she's gotten over the low self esteem that she had as an over weight individual.  She's thin and attractive, but that's being lost  because of her terrible attitude.  She better be careful loneliness may cause her to put that weight back on. 

  

I hope Dr Phil gave them a copy of the show. they  need to step back and take a long look at what they're doing to themselves and to the people around them.  The world is not all about them.  They share this space with the rest of us, and as a member of this world I know they can be happy if they overcome their anger and frustrations. 

  

I hope they can find  love, peace, joy, happiness and faith   

The women today are selfish twits .W ho would stick around and be treated that way? It was like watching spoiled brats. No. 2 is not only endangering her husbands life, but any one on the highway when she calls and goes into a tirade while he's driving. Proven fact that you can't give 100% of your attention to driving when you are on the phone. That is the more serious consequence,rather than her behavior. Calling every two hours is childish,not bitchy.  LadyKite

This is for the guest (Teresa)

I just don't understand why her husband will put up with her B******* ways! How he can sit around the house and allow his wife  to do all the name calling to him and snatching the covers off of him while he's trying to sleep. Ole,mannnnn, I wouldn't put up with my wife doing me this way. I'd have to sho'nuff LEAVE HER! I'd explain to the children why before I do. But more than likely, they'll aready know by hearing/seeing the way she acts around the house. It wouldn't make no difference how much money she bring home(from work) are how cute/sexy my wife is, I wouldn't live with her treating me the way that Teresa treats you. My manhood and feelings wouldn't let me live like that with a woman. I'd rather give my love to a woman that will treat me with respect as long as I'm giving it to her. And still be a father to my children. Even if we have to go to Court for me to get rights to see them and spend time.

B-I-T-C-H

Honey, REAL bitches have professional careers where they can use their bitchiness as a negotiating tool.  They don't settle for dead-end jobs like working the photo counter at Walgreen's.
