Stinginitis
Stinginitis (/ˌstin-jə-ˈnī-tīs/)
Noun
1. A chronic, untreatable psychological/behavioral condition defined by extreme stinginess despite having an abundance of resources (food, money, supplies, etc.).
2. An irrational, fearful refusal to share what one owns, driven by a self-created illusion of scarcity.
Stinginitis sufferers become anxious, possessive, and visibly annoyed when asked to share, viewing generosity as a personal attack. This condition commonly flares up around food, money, alcohol, and personal possessions.
Not to be confused with Greed: Greed is an active desire to acquire more than needed. Stinginess is a passive, fearful refusal to let go of what is already owned. Greed is driven by hunger; stinginess, by fear. A person can be both.
Key Signs: Hoarding supplies, rationing food, intently monitoring consumption of shared items, expressing visible annoyance when others take a second helping, sending payment requests for minuscule amounts, and aggressively defending personal items even when they are abundant.
Severity Scale:
Stage 1 (Mild): Shares, but follows up with complaints, sighs, or guilt-trips.
Stage 2 (Moderate): Implements strict rules, portions, and conditions for sharing.
Stage 3 (Severe / Terminal): Treats sharing as a hostile attack, aggressively enforcing ownership despite extreme abundance.
Note: Stinginitis is non-contagious and has no known cure. Trying to reason with a patient during a flare-up is ineffective.

church hurt
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
