Are you selfish if you dont share your food to people?

i hate sharing food. every ounce of me inside absolutely revolts at the thought of it. i've actually been thinking a lot about this and why i hate sharing food and the mentality of it all. my mom gets so mad at me because i don't want to share my food that i bought... and i truly don't understand it. "i didn't raise you to be selfish". this is not being selfish. it's called, if you want that food, get your own. and in fact, she was working overtime and didn't come home from work until 7pm, so yeah, you didn't raise me to do this lol you just let my brother steal any food i had.

i remember as a teen, my brother would constantly steal my food, even if it had my name on it. all the time. i would tell my mother and she would be like hey don't do that. and he'd do it again. and again. and again. so yeah. this is why i don't share food. get your own food! if you wanted fries, you should have ordered fries.

Is she American? Or Asian?
My Asian mom would always demand me to share food to others even if its my own food

Depends on the situation. I was always taught don’t bring food around people if you aren’t willing to share - but also if you are at a restaurant I don’t think you are entitled to another persons food

no but maybe it can be depending on scenario?

In my family's culture it'd be considered as stingy but IDGAF

Depends on the context.

Like your neighbor who always ask for food?

[jahaims]

Are they poor and starving? Are you well off? Is it when you are cooking out, or do they come knock on the door? You are way too vague to get helpful opinions here.

Actually no they have business and we dont have. And were very broke and my father always share our food to them and then sometimes were struggling. Sometimes they ask for free fish or something someone would give us when they have business and then one time I think I said dont give them because they are well off and then my neighbor heard it from then on he always give me dirty looks like 🙄😒 like that.

Is it a cultural thing for your family?

[Asker]
