What is the impact of being spoiled in childhood?

Being spoiled in childhood nurtures an insatiable demand within, turning love into a transaction and leaving the adult restless, forever seeking outside what can only be found within.

— Osho
According to Osho, being spoiled in childhood plants the seed of endless demand—an inner voice that keeps whispering, 'just a little bit more.' Indulgence strengthens ego, weakens awareness and responsibility, and confuses love with getting. As adults, the spoiled child becomes restless, entitled, and chronically dissatisfied, seeking outer gratifications instead of discovering the quiet sufficiency of being.

If you’re spoiled, you learn to always want more and never feel satisfied inside.
