You're acting like a spoiled brat!
(someone) is acting like a (something)
When you want to describe how someone is acting, use this expression:
She's acting like a helpless little princess.
You're acting like an asshole!
You usually only say negative things about people this way. If you want to say something nice about a person, it's easier:
He's a nice guy.
You're a saint.
(someone is) a spoiled brat
A "brat" is a child who is selfish and badly behaved. When someone is "spoiled", it means that they get anything they want. So a "spoiled brat" is a kid who has a bad personality because they get whatever they want.
You can call someone a "spoiled brat" when they selfishly demand to get what they want and don't think about what other people want.
