I see the type of behaviour and that sense of entitlement, the fragility, here. Very often. It's chronic. It's systemic. I didn't grow up this way. In Europe, growing up as a kid you fought your way through and you learned to cope with the trauma and the stress or be left in the dust. No matter what social class you came from. And it was often the case that if you came from higher social class you'd land in trouble or in a conflict with kids from the working class very quickly: "the trouble would find you" without you looking for it and before you knew it, you had to fight for your right to be left in peace. Blood splattered everywhere, literally. You broke their nose or a few teeth and you were left in peace thereafter. If you didn't fight physically, you fought mentally: outsmart or face the stigma. That turned out to be a key ingredient later on in dealing with failure as an adult: fail. Fail harder! Shrug it off. Succeed. The sensitivity here is enough to make a person despair; things I'd just shrug off and carry on growing up, essential for forming a psychologically healthy and mentally strong personality often get labeled as uncivil or rude here. I often roll my eyes in disbelief. This isn't good for you. As the old saying goes: "grow some skin" (or a pair!) Learning to cope is an essential part of being a normal person, instead of being a hypersensitive daisy. You can't just label everything which you don't like as "uncivil" or "rude" and even it if is, overcome it and internalise, don't institutionalise.
