Kathleen Wells was sipping some ginseng tea while proofreading her latest blog entry. She'd been doing some hard thinking about several behaviors and thoughts that were interwoven. She knew she might get some backlash. But that was understandably expected when you post anything online. Far too many people spread their toxicity online, not caring about the harm it did others in the real world.

Taking a deep breath, she finished proofreading. She looked over what she'd written, "There are many misconceptions in life, and the online world has only exasperated many of these behaviors as other media outlets. In this blog, I will summarize things while attempting to show why these negative mindsets and behaviors must cease immediately. Therefore, allowing people to have the ability to freely think and form their own opinions without other negative thoughts influencing them.

First, I'd like to discuss the growing sense of entitlement and the idea that we are owed things. The blunt truth is that no one is entitled to anything, regardless of birth or status. Nor is anyone owed anything by others. You must work for what you want because if its just handed to you, you'll never grow. This is why you shouldn't spoil children, nor should you ever enable any entitled behavior.

You need to stand up and be firm with these individuals. Tell them they're just like everyone else and that they don't deserve any special treatment for whatever reason they think they do, also, when it comes to relationships, whether platonic or romantic. Again, no one owes you anything. If you want to have friends, you need to be a friend. Additionally, projecting a positive aura would make people notice you.

It's been proven that the colors of our clothes, smiling, and good posture make an excellent first impression. But again, it also comes down to how we speak and act towards each other. I can sympathize with people who are socially awkward and shy. But again, you NEED to put yourself out there even if its scary. You may be rejected, but don't give up. Furthermore, a simple smile, talking in a respectful tone, and your body language genuinely help make you more likable, and people are more likely to want to get to know you.

However, again, I'd like to remind people of this fact. No one is entitled to anything or anyone in this world. Treat others like humans, not possessions. No one is obligated to go on a date or have sex with you. Just like no one is obligated to be your friend or like you, we are all individuals, but we must put forth the effort to be more likable and show we're respectful, compassionate, and humble.

Many factors have led to dangerous behavior by people thinking they're owed something. Whether it be a date or sex, having friends, or being liked, while being nice to others is essential, we must accept that not everyone will be friendly to us either. Furthermore, rejection is part of life which must also be accepted. It's normal to feel sad and angry.

However, you need not let it get to the point where it causes you to hurt others actively. Likewise, please don't judge mental health workers who 'sympathize' with individuals who have committed violent acts. They're only trying to show compassion to determine how best to treat these individuals. They are NOT taking their sides, but acting sympathetic will help gain these individuals' trust, making getting them the help they need more accessible.

So please don't be so quick to judge when a therapist is doing their job. Again, they aren't saying they approve of the violence. They're merely trying to gain the patient's trust to determine how best to help them. Let the justice system do its job with the individual's violence, but let the therapist understand the individual's mindset.

So, to sum it up. No one is entitled or owed anything. Rejection is part of life. We must hold ourselves accountable for our own actions. And its up to us to become respectful, compassionate, and project positive vibes. It's our hearts and souls that matter. Not our other looks. If you treat people respectfully and accept that they may reject you and learn some humility, you'll go far in life.

Also, seek mental health services if your emotions are getting out of control or you're nearing your breaking point. Do not resort to violence or self-proclaimed vengeance. Please think and take the steps needed. That's all I've to say this week. Thank you for your time. Till next week's blog!"

Kathleen sighed and hoped with this blog, she'd gotten through to some people. She sipped her tea once before posting her blog, which would appear in two different realities. Afterwards, she went to take a long soak in the tub before turning in for the night.
