Entitled

Entitled is a term often used in psychology and social sciences to describe a person's belief that they inherently deserve privileges or special treatment. These individuals often exhibit a sense of entitlement, which can manifest in various ways and can have significant impacts on their relationships and interactions with others.

Definition

The term "entitled" is often used to describe individuals who believe they deserve more than others, regardless of their actual contributions or achievements. This belief can stem from various factors, including upbringing, societal influences, or individual personality traits.

Characteristics

Individuals who are entitled often exhibit certain characteristics. These include a lack of appreciation for the efforts of others, a tendency to take advantage of others, and a belief that they are inherently superior or more deserving. They may also have unrealistic expectations and may become easily frustrated or angry when these expectations are not met.

Impacts

The sense of entitlement can have significant impacts on an individual's relationships and interactions with others. It can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings, as the entitled individual may not recognize or appreciate the efforts of others. It can also lead to feelings of resentment and frustration among those who interact with the entitled individual.

Treatment

Treatment for entitlement often involves cognitive-behavioral therapy, which can help individuals recognize and change their entitled beliefs and behaviors. This can involve learning to appreciate the efforts of others, developing realistic expectations, and learning to manage frustration and anger.
