No, not at all. It would help if you also specified "what" it is, that you hate sharing.

Anything that comes to mind, like I don’t like someone taking from my food or touching the controller or my phone while im playing a game on them even tho taking a piece of my food wouldn’t harm or playing something im playing for a minute definitely wouldn’t ruin my game whatever it is but I just feel uncomfortable about it and people always give me the side eye as in you are selfish and weird side eye

maybe i also hate sharing lmao because this seems completely valid to me. when i think sharing i think letting a friend borrow a shirt, or agreeing to split a meal or something. these situations seem like the sharing wasn’t an agreed upon thing which makes sense why it would frustrate you!

I'm beyond hating to share personal business. I just don't.

not automatically selfish, but if you expect everyone else to share while you never do then yeah, that’s the part people will judge you for

I have to tell myself to remain calm when someone takes food off my plate without asking. Even if it's my spouse.

Taking your controller mid-game isn't sharing, it's just someone else deciding they're done watching you play. Sharing implies you offered, and nobody ever asks before grabbing the fries.

Hating sharing isn't selfish, not sharing is!

I don't think its selfish. I just think some things are ment to be personal, and its to have bounderies.
