Some people simply just never learn to share. Sometimes its a character flaw, like pure selfishness, and sometimes its ignorance, like only child syndrome.


I see it with my daughter's friendships....


She has one friend in particular who is seemingly a real sweetheart, but if any of Jordan's other friends want to join in the fun, she will pout and eventually just leave without a word.

When they were younger she even told her mother she wasn't wanted at our house, and that's why she left.


(we got that all sorted out now and she is a bit more tolerant of extra friends)


So yes, your friends seem like they've never learned to share properly and their behaviour is really insecure and juvenile.


I would not be able to deal with someone trying to own me.
