It goes without saying that people with a sense of entitlement, like the resort patrons in the story, live miserably.
Experts have attributed such behavior to a narcissistic personality, people who believe the world owes them. Of course, it’s an out-of-touch way of thinking, far from reality.
Unfortunately, life doesn’t get easy for entitled people. According to a 2016 study mentioned by Time Magazine, their narcissism throws them into a “perpetual loop of distress.”
“Oftentimes, life, health, aging, and the social world don’t treat us as well as we’d like,” said the study’s lead researcher, Joshua Grubbs. “Confronting these limitations is especially threatening to an entitled person because it violates their worldview of self-superiority.”
According to psychologist and author Dr. Leon Seltzer, growing up in a privileged environment can bring about a narcissistic trait that causes entitlement.
“If we were raised in a locale where everyone possessed either inherited or acquired wealth or status, we might ‘contagiously’ absorb a sense of communal superiority,” Dr. Seltzer wrote in an article for Psychology Today.
