I am a 44 year old male, and for my entire life, or for as long as I can remember I have felt this intense contempt for any and all authority figures / institutions. This attitude has caused me many, many problems in every facet of my life from work to romantic relationships. Does anybody have any insight into what could cause this. I am so fed up with this seemingly uncontrollable rebellious response I have to all authority. I would like to change this, but have no idea how to go about it.

Thank you
