People who leave hate comments online are 'keystroke bullies' who wouldn't say the same things to your face

There are those people that just sit in their mother's basement... find fault with other people and disparage the efforts of others. I call them keystroke bullies. And you know something? They would never say that to you in an elevator.

This is an observation about human behavior and the nature of the internet, making it subjective.

I never board a plane without looking the pilot in the eye to judge who is flying the aircraft

When I get on a plane, everybody gets on a plane and they just step on and turn right... I never do that. I get on and look left because I want to look at who's flying that airplane. Well, every single time I have never gotten on a plane that I didn't look the pilot in the eye.

This is a claim about Dr. Phil's own habits, which cannot be verified by outside parties.

You don't break habits, you only replace them with new behaviors

People think you break habits. You don't break habits. What you do is replace one behavior with a different behavior.

This is a widely accepted principle in behavioral therapy known as habit replacement or competing response training.

Cleveland fans felt personally rejected by LeBron James when he left for Miami

Number one need in all people is acceptance. Number one fear is rejection. [LeBron] rejected the cities. I'm out of here. So they all felt rejected. We're not good enough. You're leaving us. So that hurt. So they really had a love-hate relationship with him.

This is a psychological interpretation of a public event, making it inherently subjective.

We form our self-image by watching ourselves perform under pressure

We form our self-image by watching ourselves do what we do. So if you see yourself fold under pressure, then you attribute to yourself, I fold under pressure. But if you see yourself take the shot and make it, you go, hey, I held up under pressure.

This is a psychological theory regarding self-attribution, making it a subjective matter of academic opinion.
