SYMPTOMS

Here are some telltale signs to spot the girls plagued with PS:

1. Always fussing, “dying”, or “melting”

They’ll fuss over their food, squad, hair, Instagram filter, weather, outfit, job, 50th #OOTD shot, and the list goes on. In fact, they can’t risk melting in the sun or “dying” after a 10m marathon so the only physically-demanding activity they do is shopping.

Princesses never want to break a sweat, both figuratively, and literally. They want to be excused for their preferences and to be treated as ‘VVIPs’ all the time. They don’t do a lot of things for themselves because they’re spoilt and are used to every peasant around them being at their beck and call.

2. Whines incessantly

When she doesn’t get her way, or the spotlight isn’t shining brightly on her, a princess will whine. And she’ll whine and complain until someone appeases her. If not, you’ll have to deal with her black face and passive-aggressive replies for the rest of the day.

Only rotten brats whine and throw tantrums about not being able to get their way for prolonged periods. If you’re not mature enough to know how to #letitgo or handle the shit life throws at you, you’ve just been diagnosed with PS.

3. Indecisive but still needs to be in charge

Princesses want to have the last say and be in charge so they can boss everyone around—which is understandable if you know what you want—but they don’t. They’ll say ‘anything’ when it comes to deciding where to eat for dinner but will reject every option you propose. Well, it’s your fault for thinking you had the freedom to choose—don’t forget your place.

It’s unhelpful and unproductive, especially if you have no counter suggestions to contribute. PS gals are generally dissatisfied with the fact that no solution appeals to them when they’re actually the root of the problem.

4. Taking every criticism as a personal attack

A princess doesn’t take criticism well or considers advice to be constructive. Ever. They’ll usually avoid admitting they’re wrong at all costs because they’re really sensitive. Every hit will be taken as a personal attack; even if you tell her “you look different today.” Different? Are you saying I look bad or something?? Seriously, you’re the rudest person ever. And did that girl just throw shade at me in her Instagram story? I bet she was referring to me.

They’re just petty, and you can never win an argument with them. PS sufferers will jump at what you say according to their mood, and everyone has to walk on eggshells around them.

5. Not giving guys any chance

There’s nothing wrong with having high standards and understanding what kind of a partner you desire or deserve. But when it comes to a point where you’re complaining about being ‘forever alone’ while brushing off every guy that comes your way, it’s PS acting up. Because they consider people they reject as beneath them.

These girls have strict checklists that knock guys out of the game the second they don’t possess any of the defining traits listed—which can be as important as being taller than 1.82cm.

6. Always expects guys to pick up the tab

Not only do girls with PS have unrealistically idealistic views on their Prince Charming; they also have sexist, double standard opinions when it comes to relationships. Everyone loves to be pampered and spoilt with gifts. But princesses expect it—for men to shower them with materialistic affection.

You would think it’s 2017 and girls aren’t that shallow anymore, especially with feminism on the rise, but you’d be surprised with the number of princesses that still exist.

7. Aggressively hints for favours

Princesses always seem to have ulterior motives when they’re acting sweet because they’re more self-serving than they are giving or kind. They think they can manipulate you to get what they want. They’ll passive-aggressively hint to you that their ‘friend’s boyfriend’ bought her XYZ, and how amazing he was… unlike you.

And if you’re not one to pick up on their not-so-subtle hints, hell hath no fury like a princess scorned.

8. Never truly appeased

Even if you cave and give them every single thing they’ve ever wanted, appeasing every whim and fancy will never be enough to satisfy a princess. They’ll always want more—the Princess lifestyle is ongoing and their expectations will only correlate with the amount of times you give in.

So mathematically speaking, the more you pacify a spoilt girl with PS, the more acceptable her behaviour becomes in her eyes. In short, if you put up with a “princess” for long enough, you’re screwed.

Causes of Princess Syndrome

You probably have, but if you haven’t, it’s a syndrome where a young girl wants to live a life of a princess. But there are reasons why Princess Syndrome is unhealthy.

According to PsychologyToday.com, Princess Syndrome is when young girls only focus on the nice things in life. In most cases, they think they’re the center of the world. They love attention and are obsessed with how they look and love to dress like a princess.

Princess Syndrome could turn into an unhealthy attitude and in the long run, could pose as a real problem. If a little girl continues to live with the illusion of becoming a princess, she’s more likely to end up believing it.

She’s definitely going to have a hard time shaking it off. Instead, she’s going to grow up thinking she’s a princess. If she isn’t a royal, then that could be a real problem.

IT PAVES WAY TO AN ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY

One of the biggest reasons why Princess Syndrome is unhealthy is that paves the way to a state of mind called entitlement mentality. This is a state of mind no parent would want her daughter to have. Who would really want a daughter who thinks privileges are rights? A young girl, with an entitlement mentality, grows up thinking she deserves all the comforts in life. She will expect to be pampered all the time. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t be able to build or strengthen her coping skills.

The Effects of Princess Syndrome

A princess syndrome is not easy to handle because she’s only focusing on the pretty things, thinking that she is the most beautiful among to others, and putting herself at the center of the universe. Like for example when she’s around with her friends and acting like she’s the leader of the group and the one who will decide for the group. It can be negatively affecting a girl’s values as she develops in influencing her self-esteem, her dependence on others, how empowered she feels in her life, and how she takes care of herself. On the other hand, she will get easily frustrated when she did not get what she wants, having a poor communication skill, and acting her attitude might lose of her friends. This behavior should not continue because it is not good for a girl to act like this it might cause others to disrespect her.

How to deal with a Narcissist

Just because some people are narcissists doesn’t mean they’re unlovable. People high in narcissism may also be fun, charismatic, or good at what they do. Having them around gives you more pleasure than pain and, in the workplace, enhance your team’s success.

With these findings as background, let’s examine ways that you can manage your own emotions when you’re dealing with people high in narcissism:

  1. Determine which type you’re dealing with.
    • Vulnerable narcissists don’t feel particularly good about themselves at heart. In contrast to grandiose narcissists, they’re less “out there” with their emotions, and so you might not realize when they’re undercutting you or getting in your way.
  2. Acknowledge your annoyance.
    • recognizing where your frustration is coming from can help give you the strength you need to put a stop to it.
  3. Appreciate where the behavior comes from.
    • Once you recognize that they are coming from a place of insecurity, you can provide them with just enough reassurance to get them to settle down and focus on what needs to be done.
  4. Evaluate the context
    • Narcissism is not an all-or-nothing personality trait. Some situations may elicit a person’s insecurities more than others.
  5. Maintain a positive outlook
    • Don’t look ruffled, even if you’re feeling annoyed, and eventually that behavior will diminish in frequency.
  6. Don’t let yourself get derailed
    • Find the balance between moving ahead in the direction you want to pursue and alleviating the vulnerable narcissist’s anxieties and insecurities.
  7. Keep your sense of humor
    • Without being cruel about it, you can point to the inappropriateness of the person’s egocentric behavior with a smile or joke.
  8. Recognize that the person may need help
    • Because some narcissists truly have low self-esteem and profound feelings of inadequacy, it’s important to recognize when they can benefit from professional intervention.

TREATMENT OF A PRINCESS SYNDROME

What is Princess Syndrome?

Princess sickness, alternatively known as princess syndrome or princess disease (Chinese: 公主病; pinyin: gōng zhǔ bìng; Cantonese Yale: gūng jyú behng; Korean: 공주병; Revised Romanization: gong ju byeong}), is a neologistic term used colloquially in East Asia to describe a condition of narcissism, egocentrism and materialism in women, or “princess” behaviour.[1][2] Conversely but less commonly, men with a similar outlook may be described as having “prince” sickness.

It is speculated that the term originated with the rise of the Four Asian Tigers across Asia, in which rapid economic growth may have contributed to a corresponding rise in consumerist or materialistic attitudes and upper classes investing heavily in their children, who might subsequently become accustomed to material wealth and domestic help.

“The Princess” is a type of woman often brought up in dating advice articles and websites. With more red flags than Russia had in the Soviet era, we’re told to stay far away. But, I believe that there are two very distinct “princess mentalities.”

I recently touched on the characteristics of a Healthy Princess Mentality.

With that, here are:

10 Characteristics of the Unhealthy Princess Syndrome
1. She’s entitled and demanding.
A woman who has an unhealthy princess mentality thinks of the world as hers, and acts as though she expects it to serve and pamper her.

2. She’s vain.
A woman who takes care of her physical appearance is attractive, but when the desire to look appealing takes priority over everyone and everything, you end up with a woman who is stunning on the outside, but cold and bitter within.

3. She’s conversationally superficial.
Rarely does she engage in deep conversation. More often than not, gossip, anything to do with herself, or complaining that others have what she wants are her chief subjects of choice.

4. She’s judgmental.
A woman with unhealthy princess syndrome will go to great lengths to find flaws in others. But, when she breaks her own social rules, they don’t apply.

5. She’s unforgiving.
We all tend to hold onto a grudge and carry past wrong-doings with us. But, a woman with this negative mindset will refuse to let go of the grudge out of a sense of pride and bitterness. Forgiveness is beneath her.

6. She’s clingy.
As a romantic guy, the thought of spending a day with my girl makes me happier than nearly anything else I can think of. But, in order to have a healthy relationship, both of you need a certain measure of space. A girl with unhealthy princess syndrome doesn’t maintain boundaries nor does she have her own goals..

7. She’s jealous.
In a relationship with the unhealthy princess, she won’t be happy if you say “hello” to a female friend. She might feel threatened by your relationship with your mother. She’s jealous, even if you make it very clear in action and word that she’s your priority and the one you love.

8. She’s easily angered.
Forgot your one month anniversary? Or, maybe you didn’t look at her Snapchat story. When a woman has an unhealthy princess mentality she often makes mountains out of anthills.

9. She’s materialistic.
Time is one of the most valuable things a man can give his woman. But, these kinds of “princesses” tend to overlook and under-appreciate that as they set their eyes on physical and monetary based gifts. Precious stones or Louis Vutton might temporarily satisfy her.

10. She’s arrogant.
A high level of self-confidence is both healthy and attractive, but a complete lack of humility can get tiring quickly. The ability to admit fault is important, but it’s a trait often lacking in women with unhealthy princess syndrome.

Disclaimer:

Most, if not all, of these characteristics in a woman typically come from a place of brokenness, hurt, or insecurity. They’re harsh symptoms stemming from a painful and deeply set inner source.

So treat them with the respect and courtesy that you would anyone else. That said, however, it’s best to avoid any form of romantic relationship with a woman that has an unhealthy princess mindset.
