I'm now 25 years old, and am still sad that I don't have any siblings. For my whole life I've envied others who are close to their siblings. I feel that people with siblings have so many advantages that I'll never have, like more chances to meet new people, more people to do social activities with.
I have two brothers and a sister you are not missing out on anything. We can get along fine as long as we are not in the same town at the same time. If we spend more than eight hours in each others company it usually ends up with some sort of bickering.
Being the only child gives you a better chance of inheriting your parents crap when they pass away...
LOL only kidding, it is great to have brothers and sisters, as in any normal family, sometimes you get along and sometimes you fight but when push comes to shove you will always stand united against anybody from outside your family circle!
My father was an only child and has told me that he would have liked to have had a brother or sister.
I'm not really close to my siblings. I often wish that I was a only child.
I don't believe in those stereotypes about them being "lonely", "Maladjusted", or "selfish". It all depends on how they're raised, not the number of siblings they have or don't have.
If anything, I'd consider you a very lucky person. After all, Onlies have more oppurtunities, they recieve more love and attention, they grow up without conflict/drama, and they're the literal apples of their parents' eyes. No favoritism going on.
Don't be sad that you're a Only, embrace it with all your might. Not everyone gets that chance. In fact, if I ever became a parent, my child would be a only-child.
Make a friend Be a friend: I am an only child: yes, from time to time I had your feeling of wanting brothers and sisters: My mother was single at 32 when she birthd me, never married, my father lived locally but did not acknowledge me. I was your age when I found out who he was, he was eight years younger than my mother, came from a respected family my teachers but he never wanted to know me even though we worked together and sociaised in the same rural Pub: Your feelings are normal: I have 3 very true and good friends male/female and we know each other so well that I would love them to be my siblings. The saying goes you can pick your friends but not your family etc. It's ok your normal
I'm an only child too. I've had the thought of siblings being a good thing, but then I realize I was lucky to not have anybody getting in my space all the time, but I highly value alone time and like people to go away unless I am in the mood to socialize.
I'm an only child, but really, to let it get you down is foolish. You can't change it and there's no benefit from dwelling on it. Let it go and play the cards you've been dealt.
It's not all it's cracked up to be, we fight and we grow together, for they most part we love and need each other, we just don't know it yet (in my little brother and sisters case) I am the oldest and I've always wanted a older sibling (brother) to harass me as much as I do to the younger ones lol ... call me wierd.
