Although many of the older generation seems to point the finger at the younger generation and call them entitled. However, there are many people throughout all generations who seem to have the sense of entitlement, thinking that everything in life should be handed to them on a gold plate without actually doing the work or even taking responsibility of their own actions in life. And this ends up creating a new type group of people who are completely lazy, living off of others, expecting others to give them everything in life. But how do we cancel out the personality trait of entitlement?
DO THE WORK/PUT IN THE TIME
It doesn't matter what your job is, you can be working in an office or even in a hospital, you need to put in the effort into your work. Because nobody is going to be doing your job for you while you are sitting at your desk playing on your phone or laying your head down. You are there to do the job you were hired to do, and if you don't do it then you are at risk for losing your job.
If you don't have a job and just sitting on the couch with your feet up on the coffee table expecting someone to just hand you a job for no other reason that just because you want one, then you don't deserve a job. Because you actually have to put in the effort, put in the time, make a professional resume, and go to interviews in order to get a job.
THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU
"Me, Me, Me!" That is what entitlement is about, it is all based around the personality trait of someone who seems to think that the world revolves around them and the thought process that everything has to be given to them no matter what. They don't understand it when someone says no, and they certainly don't understand it when they don't get their way. This thought process seems to be on the rise in the 21st century, and it is starting to make society collapse with more and more people adopting this habit.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY
We all go through hard times in life, this is inevitable. And there is no shame in asking someone you are familiar with (such as your parents) to get you through till you are able to get back on your feet. However, no one has to give you money just because you ask for it to blow at the casino, bar, or where you want to go. And certainly no one needs to keep bailing you out every time because you didn't budget yourself properly.
Mooching off of friends and family is one of the biggest key traits to look out for when it comes to entitlement. This type of person seems to think that they can drain their loved ones bank account for their own expense. When it comes to this, it is best to nip it in the bud and tell them no. It is okay to say no, to put boundaries around not only yourself personally and physically, but also financially.
BULLY TACTICS
Entitled people tend to use similar tactics that a bully would use. In fact, there are many people who would give those who are entitled the label of being a bully. And honestly it is extremely accurate.
For those who treat their colleagues or anyone that they are close to that way is just not a good person. They think that their sense of entitlement excuses their behavior when in fact it does not.
