We live in confusing times, when all kinds of contradicting information compete for our attention. Entitlement mentality in self-improvement area is a good example. On the one hand, you are told to believe you are unique and amazing and there is absolutely no reason why you can’t get what you want. On the other hand, we have narcissism, and that has some serious consequences too. What are you supposed to believe?
The test below is designed to help you get a more realistic evaluation of your attitude even before it reaches the stage of narcissism. The issue with unrealistic expectations is that you are setting up yourself for frustration, anger, disappointment and sadness. So, in this sense, admitting your illusions and letting them go will not compromise your happiness and success.
