I was told after a psychological evaluation once upon a time that I may have feelings of "entitlement".
Psychological entitlement refers to an inflated and pervasive sense of deservingness, self-importance, and exaggerated expectations to receive special goods and treatment without reciprocating

What I mean by, 'Okay', here is that I accept that after an evaluation that you were then informed that you may have 'feelings if entitlement', and, what the term or phrase 'psychological entitlement' means or refers to here.

I'm stubborn and it's usually my way or the highway. I realize this in some sense, but I just can't back down from confrontation or head butting. I'm like a moth attracted to a flame. How does a person change the way one feels about conflict? I assume, step 1 is to want to and in order to want to, a stubborn person must meet an indestructible wall that will not budge or have the world cave in on his head. And all that does is make me madder and more confrontational. I'm like a rabid animal, a horse that has no reins and won't accept them from anyone. I'm maybe a huge problem for everyone and everyone is a huge problem for me. I just want to feel at peace and serenity. But that doesn't appear to be possible.
Why I was ever born into this world, I'll never know unless the world is truly governed by accident and randomness. If there is a creator and any order to the universe, then I can only assume, I wasn't created to fit into it. If I lived in neolithic times, I probably would be dead by now. But I live in times of plenty and that's probably what allows me to continue on this trajectory (or tragictory).
So what's the solution to me? Does there need to be a solution? And if so, whose business is it to be the executor of the solution?
When I feel like the only solution to my problem is to get rid of me, it's like telling myself that I need to self-destruct for the good of everyone else. And yet, self-destructing is a pretty daunting thing to do.
A solution might have to do with Objectivity. You may have a feeling about absolute judgement that makes you inflexible to another option. Breathe, and know there is a solution. Notice something in your surroundings that you are not paying attention to. That is something you have Objectivity about. Find more things to be Objective about. This should cure your stubbornness.
