I hate sharing food?

Question

i have a problem, i don't like to share food, it's not that i'm eating a lot, but if i shared food with someone i wont be comfortable eating, maybe they want to eat this peice so i won't eat or maybe i ate more that they ate so i stop eating

i don't know why this iis happening

last time i was going to a movie with my friends, i went to cut the tickets and i gave one of my friends money to buy me a small popcorn

when i came to them i found out that she bought a larg popcorn for me and her to share it together !! for god sake if she bought two small popcorns it would be the same price, why would she bought the larg one !!

the funny thing she sat in a chair and a couple of our friends were between my chair and hers, we were passing the popcorn like idiots! so i stopped eating and told her to take it all i don't want more popcorn, she stole all the fun from me that day

maybe you think its not a big deal but if its happening to u everytime what would you think ?

Answer 1

I feel the same way.Only way to avoid it is to make sure you get your own and not leave it up to someone else.

Answer 2

When you know you will be in a situation where there could be sharing of food (an appetizer at a restaurant or the popcorn here in this case), just let the person know you want to keep food separate because of germs and all that.  Your friend was really inconsiderate.  Passing popcorn around between friends is gross.  This isn't a matter of sharing things like your "preschool toys," this is a matter of sharing things like germs.

Answer 3

you just sound kinda spoiled......just trell yourself that the more they eat the less you eat, and share

jeez havent you been in preschool, learn to share

Answer 4

wow, what are you going to be like with a real problem?

Answer 5

Then don't share. What's yours is yours. You are not require by law to share anything.

Answer 6

I think you may have an issue with sharing food although I can see where you're coming from. It is hard to know what good sharing food etiquette is and you don't want to make a mistake or do the wrong thing and you also don't want the "sharers" to do the wrong thing like scoff it all or find their own issues.

The best way is to bring/buy and eat your own food. If someone asks to share you could give them a piece or explain that you would rather not share food. If people can't accept what you are saying than they need to buy their own food next time.

Answer 7

Next time, you'll have to get up and buy your own snacks.

Answer 8

so uh did u at least like the movie?

Answer 9

Well, you sound like you have some issue with "food."  What was the situation around food like when you were growing-up?  Were there enough?  Was it competitive?  Seems like when you perceived that you have to share, it made you upset.  If you said that you dislike the idea that everyone's fingers would be in the popcorn or you were hungry so you were looking forward to the food, or something like that, there would be a good reason.  I'd talk to a counselor and find out what's going on.  But nothing's wrong with you, just learning more of who you are.  No, this scenario would not bother me at all.  I would've thought my friend wanted to bond by buying one large popcorn to share.

Answer 10

I would say in your case, to avoid this problem you be the one to go get the food next time, and don't get the big bucket of popcorn to share.

But do you really put so much happiness into the bucket of popcorn? "She stole all the fun from me that day" ?? Is it that serious?
