Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Playing the devils advocate here, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with entitlement. I hold title to my vehicle—I am entitled to use that vehicle whenever I want to.
The US constitution entitles every citizen with certain civil rights. Those who insist on exercising those rights are indeed acting as though they were entitled. That’s because they really are entitled.
Maybe what is being discussed are people who act as though they are entitled when they actually aren’t. We should call it non-entitlement, or maybe just selfishness.

I agree, balanced entitlement is also a component of being assertive. Like we're all entitled to overt respect. But sociopath, narcissistic demonstrations of expectations are neither functional nor acceptable. At least not to me.
Have you ever tried to point out to someone that they seem to have a sense of entitlement? 
Good luck.

Yeah, a Real fun ride......
Difficult conversations are never an easy ride. How the ride ends depends on how much the riders care about each other, the relationship, and how committed they both are to making it work.
