Gratitude Deficiency

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.
