Try doing some volunteer work. Go see what it's like for people who don't always have the option of throwing a fit until they get what they want. Or go on a fast. Do something that will help you connect with others and their needs, or help you deepen your self-respect and discipline. Feeling of want can be very destructive, as can constantly getting one's own way.
Look for other ways.

Well, you have made the first step by admitting you have a problem. That is the first step to change. You don't like your personality but you can change it for the better. You realize you are selfish so take a look at what that really means. You think about no one or nothing but yourself and your happiness. Now, how does that sound to you? No one likes a selfish, self centered person. So start to change by offering help to someone less fortunate than you. Maybe go through your closet and pull out some things you don't use and give them to a homeless shelter or a womans shelter. You need to see people who are less fortunate than yourself and how they struggle just to get the basic necessities in life. That should give you a taste of reality & make you more thankful for the things you already have. If we all got what we wanted, when we wanted it, what a boring world it would be. There would be no anticipation to getting something special and no appreciation for things you get. Look around you, read the paper and see those who are less fortunate. It will give you a wake up call in your life. There are other important people in this world besides you....how about your family and friends? Good luck and I hope you will make an effort to get out your selfishness and into sharing with others around you.

If you are not happy with aspect of your personality, identify the things that bother you, work out strategies to change them, build up all of your strength and resolve and put yourself in situations that will test you on it - practise makes perfect.
