Characteristics of people with entitlement and grandiosity schemas

People with entitlement schemas have certain characteristics in their behavior that distinguish them from others. The behavioral characteristics of people with entitlement schemas show them as people with signs of narcissism. The characteristics of people with entitlement schemas are:

Sense of superiority: People with entitlement schemas believe that they are superior to others. These people exaggerate their abilities and consider themselves worthy of dominating others.

Belief in specialness: The existence of this schema in people's minds makes them think that they are special or unique and should be treated differently from others. People with entitlement traps expect to receive special attention.

Feelings of entitlement: The belief in specialness in people with entitlement schemas may lead to feelings of entitlement. People with grandiosity traps may expect to receive special treatment or privileges.

 Difficulty in Empathy: The feeling of superiority and belief in the uniqueness of people with the grand secretary schema reduces their level of empathy with others. People with the entitlement trap have little respect for the desires and needs of others.

Cause of the entitlement schema

The entitlement schema can be created in people for different reasons, different reasons that each cause the formation of the grand secretary trap in people in the same way. The reason for the creation of the entitlement schema in people is:

Permissive parents and the entitlement schema

People who have grown up in very permissive families have learned that everything is at their disposal. The parents of these people have never opposed them and have fulfilled all their desires. In such a case, the ground has been created for the formation of the entitlement schema in them. Permissive parents create a sense of expectation in people by providing all the facilities regardless of whether they are suitable or not.

Entitlement schema and excessive freedom

People being free in life in a way that they can do whatever they want and not answer to anyone can cause the formation of an entitlement schema in people. People who, especially in childhood, had no order in their behavior and behaved without any control are ready to have a grandmaster schema.

Dependence and grandmaster schema

People who were more dependent on their parents and older children than themselves in childhood are likely to develop an entitlement or entitlement schema. These people have not learned to be responsible and work hard for their own work and are always used to having their work done by someone else.

Narcissistic personality disorder and entitlement schema

People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) also behave in similar ways to people with an entitlement schema. As a result, people with narcissistic personality disorder may also have an entitlement schema and consider themselves superior to others. These people consider themselves to be head and neck above others by feeling that they have special abilities.

Types of Entitlement Schemas

Entitlement schemas occur and manifest in different ways in individuals, each with its own characteristics. Types of entitlement schemas include:

Impulsive entitlement schema

People with an impulsive entitlement schema consider themselves to be very entitled and entitled. They treat others without respect or consideration for their feelings. People with an entitlement schema act thoughtlessly and in the moment and do not think about the consequences of their actions and behaviors. They consider themselves special and superior and consider others worthless. The level of understanding and empathy of people with an impulsive entitlement schema is very poor.

Dependent entitlement schema

People with a dependent entitlement schema place their tasks and duties on others and force them to do their work. People with an entitlement trap may present themselves as weak and in need of help in order to exploit others so that others can do their work.

 Narcissistic Entitlement Schema

People with a narcissistic entitlement trap are people who expect to be appreciated and have everything they want. They want everything to be done their way. They also think of themselves as very special. They want to do whatever they want and not be criticized.

Entitlement schema and relationship

People with entitlement schema create many problems for themselves and those around them in their interpersonal relationships, especially emotional relationships. These people, considering themselves entitled, take many faults from their emotional partner and try to control him/her a lot. They cannot tolerate hearing the answer "no" and want to receive a lot of attention in all situations and have all the facilities at their disposal. People with entitlement schema show very little empathy and a low level of self-esteem in their relationship with their emotional partner and other people close to them. People with entitlement trap want everything in the relationship for themselves and do not respect the rights of the other party.
