13097705, It's not. People aren't "just" egomaniacs or brats

It's all rooted in something psychological.

Mental illness doesn't remove personal responsibility. With my depression/anxiety, I may have symptoms that keep me from meeting deadlines, so my responsibility is to 1) seek treatment and/or 2) let me boss know and defer the tasks.

Mental illness is not an excuse. Mental illness can be treated. Being a "brat" is not a diagnosis and is not actionable.
