How do you feel about sharing the food on your plate?

Inspired by a Friends rerun that was just on.

I don’t why, but I am reluctant about giving up any of the food on my plate. This has resulted in many a dirty look from my brothers when all they wanted was a bite of my delicious food.

I can’t think of a reason, except maybe I’ve already eyeballed the amount that is going in my belly and I won’t feel satisfied unless I get that amount. I’ve been like this since I was young and I’m still not over it entirely. A solution I came up with, which is not much of a solution, was to prepare extra food and leave it on another plate or in the frying pan. If someone asks to try whatever I’m having, I direct them to the leftovers not on my plate.

Am I just weird or do other people do this? And if Joey from Friends and I are the only ones who are like this, what the hell is wrong with us? At least he’s fictional. What’s my excuse?
