poured halfway up the glass

Question

I told you to fill my glass with water, but you even not have poured halfway up the glass. It tells how misery you are.

You are eating alone alone, and not giving me. You are selfish.

Are these sentences correct?

Hi Gary,

I told you to fill my glass with water, but you even not have poured halfway up the glass. It tells how misery you are.

There is a mistake with even not have. I would suggest have not even. Even is placed after the verb. And misery seems out of place ; but if you wanted to make a word with misery, then that would be miserable. Perhaps you want to say disobedient or lazy.

You are eating alone alone, and not giving me. You are selfish.

You don't have to tell alone twice, once is enough. I would also advise and not giving me anything because it makes the sentence clearer.
