They feel that they need to be great to be accepted in a world that broadcasts only the extraordinary. - Mark Manson

Sorry to break it to you, but it’s impossible for someone who destroys your mental health to be the love of your life.

Entitled people exude a delusional degree of self-confidence. This confidence can be alluring to others, at least for a little while. In some instances, the entitled person’s delusional level of confidence can become contagious and help the people around the entitled person feel more confident in themselves too. Despite all of Jimmy’s shenanigans, I have to admit that it was fun hanging out with him sometimes. He felt indestructible around him.
But the problem with entitlement is that it makes people need to feel good about themselves all the time, even at the expense of those around them. And because entitled people always need to feel good about themselves, they end up spending most of their time thinking about themselves. After all, it takes a lot of work to convince yourself that your shit doesn’t stink, especially when you’ve actually been living in a toilet.

Self-improvement and success often occur together. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the same thing.
