1. A content sharing system comprising:
circuitry configured to
acquire a user state including at least a visual line direction and position information for each of a plurality of users including a first user who is a user of a content sharing source and one or more second users who are users of content sharing candidates;
identify gazed content which is content at which the first user is gazing on the basis of the acquired user state of the first user;
decide whether or not to share the gazed content with other users on the basis of at least one of information of the gazed content and the user state of the first user;
identify a second user having a strong relationship with the first user on the basis of user states of the first user and the one or more second users when the gazed content is shared with the other users and decide on the identified second user as a content sharing destination user; and
share the gazed content with the content sharing destination user,
wherein the circuitry decides on the second user whose visual field overlaps that of the first user and whose distance from the first user is less than a predetermined threshold value as the content sharing destination user.
