Any tips for getting over only child entitlement?
I'll probably never get used to sharing. :(
Anecdote time: At work, I get very irritated when people take my remote desktops or my printer. It's unavoidable in my department but I still get very frustrated, because I use them, therefore they are mine. This is not a realistic or rational viewpoint as sometimes, people need to use my printer. It's not even mine in any real sense - it's just the one beside my workstation. The remotes belong to the entire company, so I have no real claim to them either. I still get frustrated when other people use them due to some fabricated notion of "ownership" which is, yeah. Entitlement.
This isn't actually what's frustrating me at the moment but it's very much along the same line, because I never learned how to share with others.
