Q: 17/f All right so, I HAAAAATE sharing food. Loathe it. Absolutely drives me up the wall! But, I am a female. I know it's all right if men eat a lot. I mean, they're dudes, eating is what they do. But, I'm a lady! A lot of my friends know full well to NEVER touch my plate. I've bitten a friend's hand before for stealing a handful of popcorn... XD But there are acquaintances of mine, who don't know me as well, who are known for mooching. As in, if you have food, they will beg like starving dogs. You may be able to guess, but moochers are my worst enemies. So to not be hypocritical, I never mooch or beg.
But, I always see girls sharing food with each other and laughing, and enjoying themselves. Or people sharing with their boyfriends. I wanna know, is it normal to not be able to share food without veins popping out of your head from irritation? Are there people out there like me?
Also, are there maybe some psychological reasons behind it? I'm just wondering. :3

I'm like you, for a few reasons.
Firstly, I'm weirded out by other peoples' saliva, so any sort of utensil sharing or potential spit transfer is out. I'm even grossed out by sharing a glass of water with my husband. It freaks me out so badly when someone asks for a sip of my water or a bite of my ice cream.
The other reason for me is that (going with your popcorn example) I get the amount of popcorn that I want. I go into it expecting to have a certain amount, and when someone throws off the balance by demanding a handful, it bothers me. It feels like they're stealing what's mine. My husband has learned that he can't expect me to share unless we've agreed upon it ahead of time.
Everyone has their quirks. Yours just happens to be food sharing.

Haha, that does make sense! xD! It does feel like they're stealing what's mine... Almost like they're stealing my hard-earned food, if that makes sense. >3

My Personal Forum
My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.
In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.
Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.
I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
