Meaning
If you are possessive about something that you own, you do not like lending it to other people or sharing it with other people:
Possessiveness is an emotional state where a person feels an excessive desire to control, dominate, or own someone else, or to guard their personal belongings intensely. It often stems from deep-seated fear, low self-worth, and a lack of trust rather than genuine love.
- He's pretty possessive about his iPod - I wouldn't dare ask to borrow it.
