3 Signs Your Partner Is “Self Entitled”

Most relationships these days suffer from this common issue
known as Self - entitlement . Basically , this is when an individual
perceives themselves as deserving of unearned privileges.
These are the people who believe life owes them something; a
reward, a measure of success, a particular standard of living
among many other mundane things.

To be on the safe side , here are three common traits to be on the
lookout for:
Having The “Me Before You ” Mentality
A sense of entitlement brings with it an uncompromising attitude .
There is a lack of understanding of others ’ needs and of certain
social situations , accompanied by an expectation that you should
be far more interested in their life than they are in yours .
There is an over- exaggerated sense of self- importance
accompanied by fantasies of power , beauty and brilliance .
Compromises, that require one to meet others halfway, don ’t exist
in the world of the entitled . Everyone else is either competition –
threatening their own success – or irrelevant.

Double Standards
Whilst being unyielding to the requests of others , self- entitled
individuals make unrealistic demands, oblivious that their
personal happiness comes at another ’s expense.
Ungrateful attitudes are often directed at you after you have
performed a good deed for them . You might constantly change
your routine to accommodate their plans, for instance, but they
never offer to return the favour, even when you really need it.
Plus , they often appear totally oblivious to the inconvenience they
have caused you.

The feeling of Justified Rage
The self- entitled are no strangers to confrontation. Often known
for fits of rage surpassing any tantrum a toddler may throw , their
ruthless, egotistical stance allows them to believe this is justified .
Their anger can simmer passively too ; rolled eyes signal their
contempt for those around them . Simmering negativity is
displayed in cynical and overly critical viewpoints.
