Hello, my name is Deedar Singh. I have forgotten my Microsoft account username. I have three Microsoft accounts but I forgot one of my account usernames. When I tried to retrieve my username, Microsoft only showed two or three words of the username and I don’t remember what the actual username is. If my phone number is linked with that account, can anyone tell me how I can know what the username is?

Hello Deedar! My name is Janbaz, and I am an Independent Advisor.
Hope I can assist you in finding a satisfactory solution.
For security reasons, support cannot help you gain access to your account.
As you mentioned that you can't see your full username when you are trying to see through the number you have registered previously right?
For security reasons, Microsoft will not display the full username, if you have logged in with Microsoft Edge there is a possibility to see your email and username for that email if you saved the password.
If you have used the Microsoft Edge web browser and when you logged in to your account, by any chance if you saved your password to the browser.
Please open your Microsoft Edge > go to 3 dots (...) which is familiar to ellipses > go to Settings > Password
I have attached a screenshot where you can look to.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
