    Because some people were given everything they wanted and were spoiled i think that what make some people ungrateful or they have not really experanced hardship in there lives so if they do they learn to appreatice the little things in life they do have.I know i am greatful for everything i have becuase if you dont it could be for the worst if you dont chairish what you do have and be humble about your life and others everything as much as you can because you can lose it all or something in a blink of an eye.

    I agree with Kmurray...some people just feel that they are entitled and SHOULD have everything, therefore they don't appreciate anything.

    Because people today are born with a sense of entitlement.

    A lot of people think that the world owes them a living...they are totally unappreciative and always want something for nothing. This is just one segment of society, however. There are a lot of just plain good people out there.

    It's because they lack appreciation for things that come too easy or are everyday. Because it's always been there, they don't see it as amazing or special, or the beauty in it. I could see a great sunset every evening and always feel great appreciation for the wonders of this world, how wondrously it was created. Or if my husband makes me coffee in the morning, I kiss him and thank him every morning because I appreciate what he has done, yet again, but each time you can show your grateful. But when people think it's all about them, that they value only things they do as worthwhile, they lose their gratitude for what others do and become ungrateful.

    Only the doughnut hole people, Kev..I happen to be a doughnut person so I am and have always been very grateful for what I have. My dad was a doughnut person..my mom was a doughnut hole person. I watched them and of the two, my dad was the more joyful, happy and appreciative person..I decided that's how I wanted to be. So, in my world, if you are not appreciative of what you have, you are simply doughnut hole person! :)

    Debris - the new slimline version.

    because people today seem to get everything that they want weather it is given to them or they buy it (mostly on credit) and therefore people do not appreciate the value of things anymore so gratitute is slowly becoming a thing of the past

    I for one, had to work for everything I have from the ground up. I appreciate everything that comes my way no matter how big or small it may be.
    Some people don't have that appreciation and expect everything to be handed to them.

    some people are just plain assholes who never admit their mistakes because they think they are never wrong or think its humanly impossible for them to be wrong and listen to no one but themselves which eventually they lead themselves into their own downfall and are ambitious as well as hve an ego kinda like julius ceasar he died because he was ignorant ungrateful people are ignorant. self-centered and always flip out when you dont know something that they do and were expecting you to know it. Almost everyone that i've met in my life including my dad and other relatives/friends are very much like that: UNGRATEFUL!! Never hang-out with ungrateful people because if the situation calls for it and they dont like u 2 much they will sacrifice u to save themselves like most rich people who tend to only care about themselves like bill gates' kids who got angry at their father necause he gave them an allowance of only 1 million dollars peer year yet he gave 5 million to orpahages. For thpeople to be grateful and appreceiative they first need to know pain and misery and humiliation why do u nthink the cool kids in school act like jerks? they never knew true pain. if they did they would stick up for those who are made fun of instead of being the ones who are called bullies.
    Why are people ungrateful? they have no one to teach them how to be grateful and hey dont want the help of those willing to teach them.

    Most people are ungrateful because they had it handed to them! Most people who have had something handed to them don't know how to appeciate and take for granted! They not been in the postion of going through a lot in order to obtain something.Throughout their lives, they have had things handed to them. Especially in relationships, most people are so ungrateful when a person who is good them, and they take advantage of someone else.They are so blind to see! These things derived from being self-centered and full of pride.
    A lot of people who are ungrateful, most of them are things who take other and people for granted!

    While it is true that some people are ungrateful because of excessive wealth/praise, or because they were spoiled by their parents, I think many of the people we call "ungrateful" are people who have a lot of instinctive stress about what they need, want, should have, deserve. What they need/want is a fixation with them. When they get what they want, instead of being grateful and happy, savoring it and feeling gratitude toward others who helped it happen, they barely recognize what or who it took to make it happen. They are usually very hard to please. They simply move on to the next thing they need, want, or focus on what they didn't get or what wasn't quite right about what they *did* get. I think maybe these type people felt their needs or desires were invalidated or neglected by their parents, when they were kids. Perhaps they compared themselves who they perceived to have better parents, better situations, more support, more things, more opportunities. It made them feel terrible and undervalued, (for rational reasons or not) and so it becomes their mission to always fight for and get exactly what they want as adults. It's more like an emotional need for them and so they don't realize they are being ungrateful, they're just going about their habit and staying true to their emotional priorities of "I need to get what I want or I'll feel worthless, out of control, bad about myself". I'm convinced most ungrateful people don't realize they are ungrateful. Because they do say "please and thank you" and may be polite in a surface way, they think they are normal. But the emotion of true gratitude is rare for them, and they don't think realize it, because they are little acquainted with it in the first place. Even after getting what they want, they still are too busy thinking of all the other things they still want, how other people should treat them but are not...etc. They are basically chronically unsatisfied. They are always looking ahead or behind at what they should've had or hope to have. People who are chronically ungrateful think "it could be better" instead of "it could be worse". They can drive you crazy if you have to deal with them too much, but I think they are at core unhappy people, so I feel more sympathy for them now, even though they can be obnoxious. Their ingratitude is not personal. They feel ungrateful toward almost everyone and on a continual basis toward the universe.
