Love Stoppers - Entitlement Attitude

103 8
Love Stoppers are limiting beliefs that keep you from finding and keeping love.
They are the viruses that infect your mind, making all of your positive affirmations ineffective until you get serious and make the decision to get rid of them.
The Love Stopper of this article is a sense of entitlement.
Entitled people believe "I deserve it" or complain "It is not fair" when they do not get what they believe they have a right to have.
Who are the people who believe they are entitled? They come in many different forms.
Of course, not all people in this short list have a sense of entitlement.
These are just examples to illustrate a point.
They may be:
  • A very beautiful or handsome person
  • Someone who is wealthy
  • A person whose every whim was indulged and encouraged as a child
  • Someone who believes s/he has been wronged and deserves retribution
How does a sense of entitlement stop a person from finding love? I will use the example of a very beautiful woman who has been admired for her beauty since her childhood.
Her beauty has opened many doors for her.
People have always treated her as if she were special.
It is easy to begin to have an expectation that people will always treat her this way.
It is dangerous when entering a relationship.
She may believe that the man who is interested in her should do whatever she wants.
She may expect him to agree with her and go along with her desires, no matter what he thinks or wants.
Strangely, she often gets bored with the very same man who fawns over her and tells her how beautiful she is.
How does this sense of entitlement interfere with your ability to find and keep love? Here are some entitlement beliefs:
  • I deserve to be loved unconditionally (Sorry, but no one is unconditionally lovable; can you truly love unconditionally? You do deserve love, however)
  • If s/he loved me, s/he would do ___________ (Yikes.
    Fulfill my every desire to prove you love me)
  • Everything should always be fair and equal in a relationship (It is not)
  • I should never get bored in a relationship; excitement is a requirement (And you expect it is your partner's job to entertain you?)
  • If I do not feel "in love" all the time there must be something wrong with my partner (My personal favorite: I love you; I am just not "in love" with you)
