Where some people believe they deserve more—just for being who they are.
What This Model Teaches
The Entitlement Model teaches us that power, comfort, and control belong to certain people by default—and that others must earn what the entitled expect as a given.
It’s the emotional logic behind superiority:
- I don’t need to change—you do.
- I deserve your attention, support, or silence—just because.
- If I’m uncomfortable, it means you did something wrong.
This model quietly shows up in everyday dynamics:
In families where one person’s needs always come first.
In workplaces where the loudest voice gets the most respect.
In relationships where one partner sets the rules and the other has to adapt.
It’s not always loud or arrogant.
Sometimes it looks like helplessness.
Sometimes it looks like charm.
But underneath it all, there’s one consistent belief:
“I am owed.”

Reflection
Have you ever felt like someone expected your care, your time, or your silence—without ever offering the same?
That wasn’t love.
That was entitlement—disguised as need.
