Where does your hate for 'the sense of entitlement' come from?

I think I feel more sorry for them because if you think about it...if they think they are entitled and everything revolves around them..they are in for a ton of disappointment and distress. I have been angry at people like that though. They just can not see why everything isn't handed to them on a silver platter and if anyone denies them...well...why and what is wrong with those people It is a shame to see adults that still act that way though. They are hard to deal with sometimes too.

Yeah, people like that make me nuts too. I think everyone knows at least someone like that. I guess it's a common sense thing. Obviously nobody is entitled to anything, so it's frustrating to see someone get bent out of shape when common sense would tell you they have nothing to get bent out of shape about. Though at the same time we have probably each had our own moments of feeling that sense of entitlement. Anytime we have ever said "I deserve.." we are showing our own sense of entitlement. I deserve a good job, a better life, more love, etc. etc. Whether we have good reason to believe that we are so deserving or not is our own opinion. Others can look at us and think we don't deserve such things based on their own opinions and views, and so then we would become the hated ones with the sense of entitlement.

I never even give the Entitiled very much thought.Growing up I got everything I needed. I wasn't rich Nor poor. So the self-centered Never got to me. What does are liars and hypocrites. Once I find out a person lies , I lose all respect for them And I assume Everything they say Is a lie. They can Never fix it.

I feel hate is too strong a word, but I do dislike people who feel entitled when they don't. This is because I regard everyone as equal, no-one is better or worse than me and so everyone deserves the same. The people who regard themselves as the center of the world, I can only laugh at them because I know they're not. No-one is.

I know that mine comes from my childhood. I could never stand the people that thought that they were better than others and for that reason I distanced myself from those people from the time that I was a child. Now that I'm older, I still don't like to be around people that feel like they are entitled because of the fact that I know that my family has to work for everything that we have and will have in the future.

Oh, there are plenty of those around and they seem to be on the increase. I have also noticed that the over-developed sense of entitlement goes hand-in-hand with immaturity. These are people who were spoiled by parents who gave them everything or by others who told them they are entitled to everything and someone, a mysterious "THEY", are going to provide it. Like all spoiled brats when they don't get what they want they throw a tantrum until they get it. Because people around them will often back down they have learned that this kind of behaviour and attitude works a lot of the time. Where it can get really spectacular is when they find themselves in a situation where no-one is going to pander to them and their usual tactics have no effect. I've seen so called grown ups employing tactics that would embarrass a toddler to try to get attention and their own way. If you can distance yourself from it it can be entertaining to watch , but if it is someone you have to deal with it can be exhausting so I generally take the line "like it or lump it". It can make me seem like a hard-nosed meanie at times but in the long run it doesn't help them either if they get their own way all the time.

the only thing I am entitled to is what the law says I am entitled to like in marriage I am entitled to 50% of combined debts and assets also things I am entitled to by being born as a human being which is to be treated as human being wherever I am the last one, though, if I don't get it, I can always get even

I am actually glad that you wrote this discussion. I hate people who feel as if they are entitled to something just because they make more money then we do, or because they are the customer for instance. I guess I hate customers who feel like they should always be right, and don't know the meaning of / don't care to acknowledge that things don't work the way they want them to.

Yes bounce, there are people who thinks that they are the "most" or "more" - beautiful, talented , rich or sexy. When i meet people like that, i ignore them. They can think that way to themselves, but to me , we are just at par. We are all created equal, and that's what i believe.
