Wifi hotspot automatically activating

UBUNTU 18.04

I have the wifi hotspot that gets automatically activated whenever my computer can't get connected to a wifi network.

For example, if I am connected to a network and I the connection is lost, even for a few seconds, my computer becomes a hotspot ! And I have to manually deactivate it ! If turn my wifi off then on, it goes on hotspot instead of just searching for a wifi network to connect to !

I don't know why this is happening but it started a while ago when I shared my internet connection to a friend (it was behaving fine and as expected before that) and it's quite annoying !

Thanks to @heynnema for the help !

How I solved my problem :

1. Open terminal
2. Enter nm-connection-editor
3. Find my connection, in my case it was named Wi-Fi connection 2
4. I selected it and here you can either delete it (the - button) or edit it (the settings button)
5. I chose to edit it and went to general->Automatically connect to this network when it is available and turned it off

And my problem is solved !
