I brought it home and put it in the window, iv never owned any plants before, is it dying, have I watered too much, too much sun? Any advice would be appreciated
Brown edges *with* yellow right where the brown and green meet indicate some sort of nutrient issue, sometimes a deficiency and other times an overload. You usually see this happen with fertilizer burn. In plants like aloes, it’s indicative of low potassium or nitrogen, so that would be the opposite. It would need fertilizer in that instance.
All of that is to say, two very different issues look the same in plants, so we cannot say for certain. This doesn’t look like overwatering to me. I think it’s worth checking out the soil and maybe giving it some all fresh new stuff. Do you let it dry out between watering? How long have you had it? Is there drainage/is the plant allowed to drain *completely* when watered?

Does your bucket have drainage? They hate wet feet.

Drainage means holes not gravel. You’re killing it without drainage holes because of fertilizer burn.

Is it possibly ready to harvest and die and produce a pup? That’s the life cycle of the pineapple.
