We may feel angry and ripped off. We might question ourselves, wondering what we're doing wrong because we haven't achieved the life we were supposed to have. Thanks to this ongoing clash between the fantasy messages and the starkness of reality, we've somehow confused expectation with entitlement.
Road rage is another example of entitlement.
