I grew up with 5 siblings and while I love them all, I realized that I can get weirdly possessive over something that I deemed "uniquely mine". Foods and clothes, I don't mind sharing them but there are stuffs I have that I purposefully kept secret from my siblings because I don't want to share it with them. My friend said I was being childish and selfish and that if I got blessed with something that I could share with my siblings, then I should share them (she also has a lot of siblings) but I can't really see her perspective. I feel like this level of possessiveness is normal. So I was wondering if there are others in a similar situation to mine who can relate?

※Not necessarily have to be siblings. If you grew up in a generational house with your cousins or in a foster home, that counts too. Basically if you grew up living with more than 2 kids around your age.
