A better question is do I make everyone else’s dollar worth more for the duration that I hold and don’t spend my dollars

Yes. That is precisely why we don't get runaway inflation when people own a ton of property or have tons of money in index funds. That money supply isn't doing anything in particular.

Do you make everyone else's stock worth more for the duration that you hold your shares without selling them?

Rephrasing that question, if you were holding a bunch of shares of stock, and you sell them, will that lower the price of that stock?
