RE: "Why Can't I Be Treated Specially?"

I like the idea of "entitled by proxy", it's a very fitting phrase for those kinds of people, and I think we've all met them. I always think how empty and shallow and insecure these people must really be. They may project entitlement and superiority outwardly, but inside, I should imagine they're rather small and insecure, if their only qualifier for value is someone else's importance and value. I think one of the best things you can give yourself is acknowledgment that you deserve to be valued and accepted as a human being, and these people deny themselves that.

I'm sorry you had to deal with people like that! Hope you don't, in the future :) Very thought-provoking post!

It's like bullies. The average bully feels small and insecure inside so chooses to hide his vulnerability by tormenting others. That's how shallow the mindset is. I appreciate this beautiful comment and it means a lot that you were able to relate to it. !LUV
