Is it normal to be paranoid of being spoiled

I grew up in a lower middle class household as a single child BOTH my parents had physically abusive parent(s) as a result I overheard many awful story's like there dad pressing there face against a heatlamp.

This made me VARY scared that I was a spoiled brat. I would hurt myself, destroy my possessions and and refuse food all because I was scared of being spoiled.

    I wouldn't consider having food and possessions as being spoiled. But why destroy your possessions? Giving the things you didn't want to the less fortunate would have made more sense.

    Im sorry to hear that but i dont understand - if you don't want to be spoiled wouldnt you be thankful for your food and possessions instead of letting them go to waste and be destroyed?? That sounds like something a spoiled kid would do. I kinda understand the rest though. I feel guilty about being happy when some of my close friends have such shitty lives.

    Why don't you do the sensible thing and start a gratitude list? Also you could donate time and money to charities that you believe instead of acting a fool, child.

    Oh, and the word you're looking for is very, not "vary".

    It's wasteful, and beyond stupid to destroy your posessions! If you feel guilty for having nice things, and don't want those things then donate those items to charity so a less fortunate person can enjoy those things. If you really gave a damn about poor people you would donate your time, money and gently used items to charity so you could help the needy instead of messing up yo thangs. If you destroy you personal possessions then not only is the item wasted, but the money spent on it is wasted too.

            I don't care. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little spoiled, because whether or not someone is actually spoiled is a subjective matter. People always talk about how we're not supposed to judge others, but many of those same people rush to judge other people they think are spoiled, because they're jealous. If someone has things better than me I don't really care as long as they don't rub my nose in it, or act like they're better than me.

            As long as people are grateful for what they have, and are not snobby I don't see what the big deal is.
