The Importance of Finding a Mirror

A short monologue from a YouTube talk addressing people who lack others in their lives to give honest feedback about entitlement. The speaker urges strong self-appreciation and honesty, notes that such people are often under-entitled, and recommends developing trust by finding counselors or friends and cultivating inner support, while acknowledging societal barriers to forming these relationships.
So what about people who don't have someone in their life to say to them, hey, you know, you're being a little bit over entitled here, or hey, you know, I think you're acting a little under entitled. What about the majority of population that don't have those relationships? So are you talking about people who don't have that but have the awareness to want to have that? Yeah. How do they work with that in that situation? Well, the first thing is to be really appreciative of yourself. And I'll say it again, really be appreciative of yourself, which is a very deep state of development that, oh, I'm honest. Oh, I'm taking a look. And if they don't have other people around them, that means that they haven't been fortunate enough to be in a family situation or they haven't been able to trust themselves enough to go out and find it in the world with friends. So the fact that they're honest, but they haven't yet manifested it in their outer world, let's say even with a counselor, means that they haven't appreciated their own honesty. So I think the main thing is, congratulations, you're a really honest person. Now you get to go out and find a counselor. If you can't find a friend or if there's nobody in your family, but develop a greater appreciation practice inside yourself that I really want to know whether I'm over or under entitled. Now, the chances are probably pretty good if somebody's in that situation that they're under entitled. And the reason for that is because if they were over entitled, they probably would have already been to a counselor. They would have already been having other people in their lives. So usually what needs to happen is a certain kind of trust needs to be developed, which is really the point of us having this conversation is to support anyone that has the honesty to see that, you know what, I'm wrestling with these deep core issues, but I don't have any friends to play with and I really want to have some friends to play with. And so for you, for those people who are really that honest, bring that appreciation towards yourself as much as possible and then go out and find a counselor, pursue friends, start to experiment if you haven't, and recognize that this is something that society generally doesn't support. But you're intuitive and you're awake and you're inquiring and that's a wonderful thing. So it's just getting that inner support to be radiating enough to where the person has enough confidence to go out and start to bring people from the outside world to their inside world.
