Entitlement mentality is a disease

[Kelward]

It is not every entitlements that we should see in a negative light, there are entitlements that are deserving so we need to be specific when we're talking about entitlements because as much as there are negative entitlements there are also positive entitlements.

There are some entitlements that are our rights, examples are our opinions and what we can legally claim, if you are qualified to receive something it means that you are entitled to it.

There are also negative entitlements which is the focus of the OP if you are always thinking that you are supposed to have something or be recognized for what you don't deserve then you have a false sense of entitlement. This is a very big problem in many societies where some people believe that they deserve to be in positions that it is clear that they are not qualified to be in. Some wants to receive benefits that they are not qualified for and a corrupt leadership would give it to them disregarding those that are qualified and entitled.

Day by day people are becoming more lazy and they want to enjoy more benefits, people do not work as hard as they used to in the past. They want to take more benefits, when they want to succeed in a task with little effort but they cannot. They cannot accept this failure and therefore try to blame others, which is a big mistake.
Until you can accept your own fault, that person will not be able to succeed in any task. So you have to accept this failure and work harder to achieve success.

Its is mostly people that are actually lazy that likes to think that they deserve certain thing and take themselves to be more important than how they actually are. the thinking that you are a special person or seeing yourself as someone that another person owes a thing has resulted to most of the challenges that people are facing even at this present time.

Even if you are someone's child, friend, colleague and regardless of how close you are to a person, it is not matured to feel entitled to the things that they have. if anyone decides to help you, just see it as a privilege and nothing more. no one got a thing on a plater of gold. they paid the price by doing the needful and if you desire same result, there no other way out other than paying your own price.

You have stated an informative point about this issue of entitlement because a lot of persons are seeing every entitlement as something that's caused by laziness or unwillingness to do anything but actually is not all the entitlement that should be concluded as such because entitlement could be seen in different ways, an employee who started working from beginning of the month till the end of the month has every right to be entitled of their salary because they have already done their part of the job, so actually this is the reason why people should know that entitlement is not all about laziness even if we also know that most people use be entitled of what they are not supposed to have.

I'm going to agree with you that people should learn how to accept their mistakes, but I don't think you're right by saying people are getting too lazy or that people are no more working hard as they use to do in the past. Don't you know that it's possible to work really hard and yet not make any progress.

Some people work for a whole day so that they can meet their basic needs and by the time they pay for food, rent, transportation and the rest, they often have nothing left to save. And just telling that person to work more harder because you believe their effort is not enough doesn't solve the problem.

Someone hoping and wishing for a better life does not mean that individual is entitled or they are lazy. Someone your are referring to as lazy might have genuinely done everything within their power but still end up not getting enough results.

But I'm not saying personal responsibility doesn't matter, and it's good to always learn from our mistakes. But I want you to understand that failing doesn't necessarily mean that he or she didn't try enough.  Yes effort and hard work is important, but that doesn't ensure that things will turn out well.

No doubt people are becoming extremely lazy and entitled,  if you manage to give them a helping hand, they will keep coming the next time over and and over again,  we understand that things are hard and everyone needs an assistant but never be entitled for a favor,  I agree with you, some are not ready to take risk,  they try a business and once they failed they will never try again,  because they put so much hope on their rich uncles or parents.  Forgetting  that in business failure is a motivation to successful business.

I never depend on anyone,  I always work my way out because it's very embarrassing when I seek for help and I don't get it, one thing is to realize yourself and believe you can help yourself without anyone in this generation,  we're in monetization age, where you just need to get rich without asking anyone else. Those still in the habit of entitlement should rethink and get themselves out of it.

If an individual makes a plan such as wanting to start a startup and build his own business for financial stability, the outcome of his plan does not always come in his favour, sometimes it goes against him. Why don't people accept their mistakes in case of failure? I think it's the main reason why people don't grow well, because failure is the process of success, but if individuals learn from their mistakes and make the needed improvements in it and then after refining all aspects they adopt their plans, maybe they will get success and, in the majority of cases people that.

Another reason why people don't succeed is that people want overnight and instant success with little effort, but success needs hard work and proper calculated values. So we should accept our mistakes and learn how to fix them and not blame others for our own mistakes. If we do that, ultimately, we win and achieve success in any field in which we apply this rule.

There are many abnormalities that people have taken for granted and turned into a habit as well. There is nothing we are entitled to except the privilege of being in charge; there is always a time and season for everything in life. We should not see ourselves as the most knowledgeable person when we are in a position that warrants others being subjected to us; we should not also make it obvious that we are entitled to them, even when we need to be reserved and play along as if we don't have control over them.

This is a good point as well, because from most people's perspective entitlement is always seen from the negative aspect without considering the positive aspect. As a person, one could be entitled to self respect, fairness and other deserved privileges as that should be normal life principles. Entitlement is not a disease if it's deserved and not demanded, that's a knowledge that people should grasp.

I think at the end of the day, it's all boils down to what we deserve and what we don't. Like someone above said, entitlement can either be from a negative or positive pov, but the negative side of it has become so rampant these days. You just find people who don't deserve something acting like they actually deserve it. You can never find them doing their best to place themselves in a better position... It's always about what they can benefit and not what they can offer.

It's indeed very strange that people shamelessly exhibit these abnormalities, while others aren't even bold enough to call out such behaviour.

I think this phenomenon has never been so present in society like nowadays. Generations Alpha, Z and Y were raised being bombarded by entitlement propaganda from the government, the media and their families. The parents thought to be doing something good for their children, protecting them from nasty experiences they had during an early age, but in fact they only caused harm to society, as we can see right now.

Then we have individuals full of rights who have little or none duties in counterpart. And of course a society like that doesn't sustain itself for too long, because it will cause anger between people. Imagine an entitled individual facing another entitled individual. They won't get along with each other.

Moreover, people with more reasonable mindsets aren't going to act accordingly to the entitled individual's wishes. We are already watching the constant fights and disputes between people for minor and banal reasons, as minimum coherence can't be found in human relations anymore.

Entitlement is not a problem but the lack of balances is, lack of balance between right and responsibilities. If people are very much aware of their rights, that does not mean they are entitled or that they are unwilling to contribute to society. Cannot blame the entire generation the current generation has people who are very responsible and there are people who are not responsible and they behave very selfishly.

It is because of social media that unreasonable behaviours have become more visible but that does not mean people are worse than the previous generation. Parents trying to protect their children from any sort of unnecessary harm is not inherently harmful either. Having a healthy society, both rights and duties are needed. We should give people confidence and encourage them to defend their rights while they should respect others and have the capacity to accept any sort of criticism and fulfill their responsibilities.

When others are working and getting a good skill so that they can make a better achievement from their endeavors, some people are there feeling entitlement when they suppose to work hard rather than trying to expect other people to help them and give to them without having the plan to become a better person. There are people that were born with a silver spoon and those that don't have this spoon must be ready to work hard to make it in life.
