Why do people want to be praised when they do things they are supposed to do?!


Question: They think they deserve a prize because they are being the responsible person they should be in the first place. It kills me when people say "I pay my bills on time..." or "I go to work...".

Some rapper said in a press conference that the media always shows the negativity of some rappers, but never praises other rappers for being good fathers. He closed by saying "I take care of my kids!"

WTF?!?!? You're supposed to take care of your kids!!! What do you want, a cookie???

Excellent point.

My EX used to begrudgingly say he was "babysitting" our children when i went grocery shopping.

It's nice to be appreciated, but I hate people who fish for compliments too!

Great question! My ex husband used to act like he deserved a crown for going to work..I'd be like..isn't that what we all do? I mean????

I don't get that either.

1. this could lead to a chris rock joke

2. something's gotta even out all the times they get yelled at.

i dont ask for anything.

LMAO Isn't that the truth?

lol. I h8 it wen ppl act lyk that. y shuld u get praisd cuz u do somethin evry1 shuld do?

Alexis, all of us like a pat on the shoulder. I agree with your concept about kids. But we still need a boost sometimes for mind and heart. :)

LOL

Guess what my headline on Myspace is...

"Wanna cookie?"

I love it! And yes, you are right, but nowadays men and women's priorities have run amok that they don't really know the difference between responsibility and wanting to be responsible...

it is always good to have some praise every now and again that is why I always tell my Fiance thank you and let him know everyday how loved and appreciated he is everyday just for doing things he thinks he is supposed to do......
I don't want my Fiance to go somewhere else to find that sort of praise anyway

Oh my - I seriously love this question! I know a person who is paid to do billing and insists on being taken for lunch when she bills more one month than another month - she does the billing, not the hard work in the field... it's a weird concept.

maybe because society judges people so harshly...that they need to make sure the world knows they do that...ex: disability.....there are many people on disability because they have to be and then there are those who are on there that don't really need to be but want an easy way out of work....here's what happen to me...i am on disability...worked for almost 40 yrs...husband wanted to go fishing...because of disabilty my liscense doesn't cost anything...but i wanted a special fish stamp to catch trout....the clerk yelled across the store...that will be $10.00 do you think you can afford that! ..now why is society like that...we need to quit judging by what we see first

Munchkin is right, it's nice to be appreciated, but fishing for compliments on things you are SUPPOSED to be doing right? Please! Be responsible, right? I got this new job and I'm on commission only. So I'm out looking for new clients. Like EVERYDAY. Since no one else does that EVERYDAY, I got a bonus. I was also getting the name of the company out, which the owner really appreciated. I didn't have to do that and was pleasantly surprised with some money. Obviously, I would have done it without the promise of money, as there was no promise. I had gone above and beyond in a couple of other areas during that time too, so she felt I deserved the bonus. Thing is, this is the way I ALWAYS work. I am here for the team! I have a very strong work ethic and the people around here do not, so it really shows. The people around here are the ones that want a pat on the back for doing what they are supposed to and I'm like, HUH?! And YES, they DO want a cookie. We bake them everyday for our clients anyway, but you know what I mean.

With as lazy as our society has become, people feel the need for ego stroking for even the most basic of accomplishments. Such as paying bills on time...something I'm not good at.
I like a little recognition at work, but I don't expect praise for just doing my job.
I think it has a little to do with the notion foisted upon us that we are all winners, and there are no losers. This is prevalent in little league sports. Everybody gets a trophy now days. When I was a kid, we were absolutely thrilled that we got to keep our team hats. After a 4-16 season of horrible ball playing. Yeah, sad that I remember something like that from over 30 years ago.
It's gotten even worse in the Army. They now have "stress cards" that recruits can present when they are feeling over stressed. THAT is the whole point of basic training! To show you that you can endure much more stress than you think you can. No wonder the world thinks that we are getting our rears handed to us over in the war.

Insecurity ... It's really sad when people feel the need to point out their "good qualities" to others.
