Gratitude Deficiency
noun | /ˈɡratɪˌtju d dɪˈfɪʃənsi/

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.
