psychological entitlement

Psychological entitlement is a feeling that one inherently deserves special treatment, privileges, or consistently more favorable outcomes than others, regardless of their actions or contributions. It often leads individuals to expect automatic advantages and may cause them to disregard fairness or the perspectives of others. This mindset can affect relationships and workplace dynamics, as it promotes self-focused behaviors and a sense of deservingness that isn't always justified by their behavior or effort. Essentially, it's an internal belief that one is inherently deserving of more than what is typically earned or granted.
