Unless it's 9pm on an overnight flight you shouldn't be reclining you seat.
Anyone reclining their seat to take a nap on a 2-3 hour flight is a dick, because the nap is not necessary. It's just preventing the person behind from being able to use the table tray or read or watch their movie or work on their project in their laptop because their already limited space becomes unusable.
It also does absolutely jack shit in terms of comfort or sleep. People are obsessed with their half centimeter of recline for the same reason they are obsessed with cutting through side streets to avoid a single stoplight - because it is a petulant display of pointless sovereignty for miserable henpecked assholes.
You clearly don’t have many health problems. Not reclining the seat makes my arthritis flare up so bad I can barely walk, due to many airlines making their seats pretty much vertical. And if it didn’t make things more comfortable then why in the world would people even bother leaning their seats back at all? Have you ever considered maybe you’re the outlier here?
Just try to communicate with the person behind you if they're okay with you reclining.... Usually it's no big deal on long flights .
