Entitlement mentality is a disease

[Sim_card]

When you put entitlement first in your life, it can give you this false confidence of ownership and that can mislead you to do the wrong thing with the hope that it doesn't matter, that you deserve it even when you are wrong. Lazy people see entitlement as their righ after if it didn't work their way, they start complaining and blaming people for their shortcomings. You have to strive to get what you want.

I would say that wanting to have everything and entitlement are not the same thing. This problem occurs when people think they deserve things for nothing. When people observe other people's achievements through social networking and realize they do not have access to such opportunities, this feeling increases, In fact even a small action could impact the results.  I think instead of considering the received reward as an entitlement, one should understand how it was achieved.

Wanting something good and thinking it is your right to have it are not the same thing. The problem arises when someone sees the success of others and only sees the result, but does not see the time, effort and failures behind it. We rarely see how many times a person has failed, how much time he spent, how many opportunities he missed, and what problems he faced and how he solved them. When a person works hard to learn something, if he does not just focus on the result, if he focuses on the work and what mistakes he is making and whether he can solve the mistakes correctly, whether he can explain people well, whether he can behave well and gain people's trust, these are very important things. Do not underestimate small progress, small decisions made every day can later create big results. And instead of just thinking "I should get it too" when you see the achievements of others, it is easier to create a realistic path for yourself if you try to understand how they got there. In the end, the reward is not just the result, but also a reflection of the patience, discipline and continuous effort behind getting that result.

The mentality of believing we deserve something when we did nothing is the ideology that deserves to be revamped in our society today because their is no wages without labour. 
It is clear that the wages of every labour is salary but many chooses to remain reluctant but expecting wages which they never worked for when it is not supposed to be so. In today's life we remain expectant and blame people if it do not come when it is not supposed to be so from any angle and needs to be stopped.

Entitlement is a disease for some people, it's open room for laziness, because you will always believe that you have achieved what you wanted not knowing that particular thing is just coming as an assist from a generous person to you. Some people feel entitled to the extent of even calling such person names. A person was just told that his father assisted so so and so and from there, the person start seeing it an entitlement because his father making to be what he is today. This such entitlement lead to creating enemity among the people, we should learn on how to stand for ourselves to survive not depending on anyone even your father or your mother.

I've seen so many entitled people and to be honest it really boils my blood whenever I see this kind of people.
Those people who expect others to please them or do whatever they want no matter what.
Those who expect too much and thinks that they are better than other cause they have money, title, job,  or backer.

Entitlement mentality is your way of thinking that you deserve all the rewards and privileges without any hard work or struggle. This is a habit that develops when you are young and it may be because your parents didn't introduce you to the concept of working hard and earning your rewards or this might be an issue with hierarchy like superiors rewarded more or so on. But this type of mentality is a disaster actually because it drags you far away from kindness and appreciating other people. This mentality makes it difficult for the affected person to follow rules and a set patterns of life.

The ugly thing about this set of entitled people is that they might even have enough for themselves but they will still be expecting from others. I have seen rich people who argue and quarrel themselves over a small amount of money that was shared in the family but it didn't get to them. It is just a character deficiency because they never let go of something they expected from you and didn't get it. It will be as if you've done them so much wrong. This is why we shouldn't give people that privilege to feel so entitled, that is why it is good to set boundaries and also limit the level at which people expect something from you.

The most annoying part of it is that it makes people who act that way behave weird, for instance you have this friend you've been very helpful to and had always came through for the person but suddenly became a bad person the when you can't help, maybe cause you don't have or not enought to help out and sustain. Normally such person is supposed to understand cause you've been coming through countless but instead start acting like they deserve the little you had regardless of your situation.
 
 However one thing is certain, it's good to be good and always help but you owe no one any explanation if you can't help them whereas theu didn’t merit what they request for but act like it's a right to get it from you. Anyone feeling entitled should reflect on working to earn what they desire to get.

When entitlement becomes our everyday habit or lifestyle Gratitude disappears, society suffers, people no longer feel thankful for things they believe they were automatically owed. Kindness fades because people expect others to serve them. Relationship breaks down when one person believes their needs are always more important than the other.

The best cure to focus on contentment because when you spend 5 hours a day staring and scrolling to see strangers from different places just flaunting rented luxury cars and fake money on your phone, then your brain will naturally start feeling pressured and entitled to the same type of lifestyle. If people can make efforts to drop and detach themselves from what their eyes see on the digital space and instead focus on the real world sorroundings and show fdaily gratitude for the basic necessities such as food and health, then the mental stress will varnish.

One driver of entitlement mentality is impatience. That's important to know. Someone who lacks patience to get something tends to be very entitled to that thing. They want it now since it taking long to get it. So they use someone that can be controlled by them to get that thing. True manipulation or any other tactics. Not to be gender bias. But this entitlement mentality is common with women. I know men too do it. But it's most common with women.

Sometimes I wounder why people have that entitlement mentally, but I see it as stupidity or habit. I read about it in an article about entitlement mentally, that when you do something for a person at first it's just a help, he ask for the second and you do it becomes kindness and when you keep doing it often and on it becomes entitlement. This reason is why many people don't like doing something regularly to avoid entitlement mentality. And the reason why some people claim to be right all the time is because one person always accept the blame in a relationship regardless of their partner being the victim.

In conclusion, we will help those who need but don't allow them to create dependency on you, otherwise entitlement mentally will chip in. And in a relationship don't always accept the blame for peace to rain otherwise you become the victim. that is, you then Become the problem all the time. The truth is that we must not overdo everything otherwise you become the prey for the predators.

Being present somewhere does not come with a reward. There are factors that matters including effort, patience and responsibility. Problems arise when people start comparing their lives with other without actually looking at all the hard work that they have put in. Social media is the biggest cause of this it has put so much pressure.

They always show the finished result and product no one is willing to see the years of hard work, failures and discipline behind the finished product. That is the reason people have always thought that they are left behind as compared to others. Personal growth is also being stopped because of entitlement. If someone thinks that they can always succeed, and when something goes wrong they face failure, they start blaming others including their friends, family and employees, for their failures they do not look at the reason for their failures to improve them.

Entitlement and expecting fair treatment are two different things. It is very simple just know what you deserve but also know what are your responsibilities.

There is nothing wrong in expecting good thing from this life but I think the problem starts when we believe our expectations should automatically become someone else’s responsibility. You can want the through but you still have to accept the possibility of losing the match. The ability to handle NO without feeling cheated is probably one of the clearest ways to recognize  entitlement.

People that truly understands that no one owes them anything dont hope on anybody, talk more of feeling entitled, it is not as if seeking for hlep from someone or lets say relative is bad, but having in mind that as you ask, it is supposed to be given to you, is where the problem lies.
I have come to understand that we should hustle on our own, if we wants to feel entitled, it should be in something that's ours if that is the case, it will be wrong for me to expect that my problem should be another persons problem, or maybe if someone promise me something that he must fulfill that promise, although to be honest I have this mentality before, but I with my experience, I now understand that entitlement is bullshit.

It is kind of ridiculous that someone somewhere will be angry at another person for falling to do for him what he himself cannot do for himself, is that not madness?

If it is that easy to accomplish, why did you not  do it himself. Lazy poor people that have such a mentality are really annoying, and it's cause of such harbit, they remain at a spot without making any progress in their life, cause they uses such a mindset to drive away good people that would have genuinely supported them.

I may be willing to give a helping hand to someone, but once that person start feeling entitled like it is a right, that is when I will withdraw my support and helping hand cause I might be creating a dangerous trap for myself.

I have seen people taking privilege for granted when they should be appreciating the opportunity given to them; that is where we need to let people know their place and what is expected in every setting, without assuming they will do the right thing. Human nature will always disappoint, and that is why there must be a mutual agreement between you and any other person involved in a dialogue or within a particular setting.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

The only thing people should expect is what they worked for, like their salary, paid orders. It what is given them by nature like oxygen, day and night, the seasons, plants, animals and water.

Apart from the above, humans should expect nothing, even when you're promised of it. Most times people are the ones that help others get that entitled since they cannot say NO when such requests are made, which makes the entitled person believe it's his/her right to have that favor, so we shouldn't be surprised when gratitude disappears.

Entitlement mentality makes people lazy as well, it makes them not want to do their best because they believe it's their right to get the reward, even without putting in any effort.

[Solodoski]

One thing everyone has to realize is that no one owes you anything. The moment you realize this, you just conquered being entitlement. Being entitled is very bad and it sometimes leads to evil, because the moment you begin to believe that someone owes you something and you don't get it when you ask, you begin to feel bad and that might lead to evil thoughts. I really think that people that feel entitled are not good people and we should try to distance ourselves from such people, because people with sense of entitlement can go extra length to get what they want from you.

Personally, I think the older generation does not have that much of a right to complain that the youth of this millennial generation want everything fast, they are the same ones that build and create all these high speed infrastructure in the first place. They spent decades inventing things like instant messaging, one click digital shopping, quick banking apps and bullet trains and then want to get upset with the next generation that refuses to wait years before getting results of their aspirations and goals. The youth are just adapting to the fast environment they inherited from their parents.

No doubt we appreciate the efforts our ancestors put in the past for us. I mean in the advancement of the world, older people help a lot. I have a question here: when they gave us fast communication systems like the internet and the banking system, and we demand quick results, why are they surprised? The younger generation has grown in recent times, so they do everything faster than the older generation.

Although technology has changed our lives, building a house, earning money, and meeting all basic needs are the main goals of every individual. Even young people know that success doesn't come instantly; it takes time and hard work, and consistency is very important for success. Technology makes the process fast, but it does not compare with experience and display.
