Gratitude Deficiency
noun | /ˈɡratɪˌtju d dɪˈfɪʃənsi/
Definition:
A chronic condition affecting individuals who consistently fail to acknowledge, appreciate, or reciprocate acts of kindness, effort, or generosity shown toward them. Symptoms may include ignoring thoughtful gestures, withholding basic “thank yous,” acting entitled, and treating support like a transaction.
Common side effects:
Burned bridges, awkward silences, and being the subject of passive-aggressive masterpieces written by people with actual souls.
Not to be confused with:
Forgetfulness. This is willful disregard served cold with a side of ego.
Treatment options:
Unlearning entitlement, learning empathy, and—if all else fails—losing access to good people entirely.

noun | /ˈgratɪˌt(j)u d dɪˈfɪʃənsi/
Definition:
A severe emotional disorder where the patient consistently forgets that other people have feelings, limits, or lives of their own. Often mistaken for narcissism’s awkward little cousin, Gratitude Deficiency is characterized by an inability to say "thank you," show appreciation, or acknowledge help unless there’s an audience—or a threat of abandonment.
Known carriers:
People who only appear when they need something, emotionally spoiled exes, and anyone who acts like your support is their birthright.
Symptoms include:
• Emotional Amnesia: Forgets everything you’ve done for them the moment you say “no” once.
• “Thanks, but Actually…” Reflex
• Apology Avoidance Syndrome: Can’t say “thank you” or “I’m sorry,” but will say “I didn’t ask you to” like it’s a Get-Out-of-Empathy-Free card.
• Guilt-Trip Gaslighting: Makes you feel bad for helping them, and somehow worse when you stop.
• Getting offended by being reminded they’re not, in fact, the center of the universe
Common side effects:
• Contact List Shrinkage – people stop replying for “no reason”
• Support Frostbite – others grow cold from overuse
• Thankless Reflex – physically incapable of gratitude
• Chronic Isolation – suddenly surrounded by silence, but still the loudest victim
Treatment options:
• Heavy doses of accountability
• Deep emotional exfoliation via rejection
• Empathy injections (may cause temporary humility and mild nausea)

Noun
1. A chronic, untreatable psychological/behavioral condition defined by extreme stinginess despite having an abundance of resources (food, money, supplies, etc.).
2. An irrational, fearful refusal to share what one owns, driven by a self-created illusion of scarcity.
Stinginitis sufferers become anxious, possessive, and visibly annoyed when asked to share, viewing generosity as a personal attack. This condition commonly flares up around food, money, alcohol, and personal possessions.
Not to be confused with Greed: Greed is an active desire to acquire more than needed. Stinginess is a passive, fearful refusal to let go of what is already owned. Greed is driven by hunger; stinginess, by fear. A person can be both.
Key Signs: Hoarding supplies, rationing food, intently monitoring consumption of shared items, expressing visible annoyance when others take a second helping, sending payment requests for minuscule amounts, and aggressively defending personal items even when they are abundant.
Severity Scale:
Stage 1 (Mild): Shares, but follows up with complaints, sighs, or guilt-trips.
Stage 2 (Moderate): Implements strict rules, portions, and conditions for sharing.
Stage 3 (Severe / Terminal): Treats sharing as a hostile attack, aggressively enforcing ownership despite extreme abundance.
Note: Stinginitis is non-contagious and has no known cure. Trying to reason with a patient during a flare-up is ineffective.
