Answer 6

It can be tough for some, and the best way to encourage them to share is in little steps. When they do give you something to use, barrow, etc... be respectful of their possesions. When they see that the item comes back in the same spotless condition they lent it out in, they're more likely to share with you again. I personally know that in the past "sharing" with my friends was very annoying and bothersome because they had no respect for my belonging, either breaking or damaging them. or better yet, holding items hostage! so I think common curtousy and respect it the best way to breaking that bad habbit of not sharing.

Answer 7

So you want to know what to do with a person who doesn't share anything with anyone else but they take and expect you to share? Well I know people like this and I just don't share with them at all. Like if they want to play with my cell phone I don't let them. There's really not much else you can do and since they are your family you can't avoid them like if you were just mutual friends. Good Luck.

I had the same problem , my brother would never share stuff with me , but I was always supposed to share with him,I gave him a taste of his own medicine I bought something I knew he would want me to share and was like no , he finally understood how it felt try that .

Answer 9

Next time dont share and see how they like it.

Answer 10

Be honest and confront them about it! There is no use just waiting around for things to change, you have to take an initiative. If you have to be family, you have to be honest and make things work! Don't hold how you feel in, tell them it is bothering you! Maybe you could show them how you feel about it by doing it to them once or twice to show them how it feels...

Answer 11

Hi =)

Unless you've had problems trusting them with your belongings,

You  should continue to share with them. Continue to show them that you arent selfish and you want to be able to be friendly and share with them. That way some day when you want to borrow something from them, they will at least hesitate before saying no, because they know you've shared things with them before.

Just make sure when they try to borrow something from you, they are responsible and give it back. If they dont then dont share anymore, because if so, its obvious they are not too deserving of your favors.

^^ Good luck

Answer 12

I would say when they do show their greedy side maybe give a little hint about it. I know you dont wanna be rude to a family member, so thats why you dont really push it. Just say something along the lines of "dang your greedy."

If you want to approach it different you can be greedy with your things also, even more greedy then your family member is.  

Answer 13

pop a cap in his ***

Answer 14

Make them jealous. Show them something or do something that would make them jealous. Trust me, it'll work.

Answer 15

Punch them in the face...

Trust me... works everytime..

Answer 16

i say you can only borrow my whatever if you let me borrow your whatever.

haha but it works!

i have two sisters.

Answer 17

Well, that's a toughie!  You can't change your family, (Sometimes, I wish I could too!) so you're gonna have to just deal with them.  However, try to set up ground rules prior to the situation in order to avoid any bad blood.  Good Luck!!

Answer 18

I don't believe there is really any thing you can do but talk to them about.  keep being the sharing person that you are it makes the world a better place

Answer 19

Well you HAVE to teach them that that is not cool.

What I would do,

is if I had something they wanted,

id remind them of the last time i wanted something of theirs.

if your talking about like,

an object,

let them use it for like 5 minutes.

and if your talking about something you can eat,

let them take a bite,

and then when they have something you want,

just be like,

remember when i gave you that, or let you use that?

Hope this helped (:

Answer 20

Stop sharing with them- they will get all pissed off, but if it bothers you that much you need to show them that. They dont seem to care when they are not sharing with you do they?

Answer 21
