Answer #1

Well self awareness is a huge step. And the thing is, self control, impulse control is something that your parents should have taught you (dont worry, mine spoilt me too, I talked to them about this, apparently they never said no to me for some unknown reason), but sometimes parents love our kids a little too much and dont say no. So you have to learn this yourself. It’s not going to be fun for a bit. Just as breaking any habit is not fun, it’s anxiety provoking, and anger provoking, and the temptation is always there. But force yourself to listen, force yourself to not buy impulsively (I.e., if you really want it tomorrow, you can come back for it, but dont pick it up on the same day), and then force yourself to deal with the anger at not getting what you want. That reflexive anger is not something you can help. What you can do is talk yourself through the emotion, realize that you cant always get everything in life, and try and figure out how important it was in the whole grand scheme of things… Eventually it will get easier… Just like getting rid of bad habits gets easier with time.

“ok I know this sounds bad but I get mostly what I want and its rele bad I get pissed when I cant even have the smallest thing”

I have the same problem. I can’t imagine wanting something without getting it.

Unluckily, your parents must have been spoiling you. Mine did the same here, and here I am, paying for it :D lolz

I wanna see everyone’s answers :D

“I don’t ever do what im suppose to do when im told by MY parents.”

Do listen to them! It may seem hard in the beginning, but you will gradually start to enjoy it. Being a good son/daughter is something to be proud of. Our parents are so great we really need to “explore” them, to make sure we get everything they offer.

“I spend more money on stuff I don’t need more than anything.”

I used to have this problem, too.

Here is the thing: When you go out, make sure you are almost moneyless. It will drive you mad at 1st, but you will get used to it. I mean this world is full of poor people anyway :D lolz

Just take an action!

Answer #3

Half your problem is already taken care of…you’re aware of what the problem is, and are willing to admit it. All you’re lacking is the willingness to take responsibility for your actions, and “give back” for all that you receive.

Answer #4

Sooo you are feeling guilty for getting what you want? How about do what your parents tell you so that way you feel like you deserve it.
