Why do you only children get a bad rap?

[Justneedtokno]

So I didn’t have any siblings. Big deal

Characteristics of only child syndrome Hall described only children as spoiled, selfish/self-absorbed, maladjusted, bossy, antisocial, and lonely. Those who buy into the theory believe only children are spoiled because they're accustomed to getting whatever they want from their parents, including undivided attention.

Everything is not true about us

Psychology exaggerates everything. You can literally like coffee and some people will say that means you like to be on edge and live on the darker side of life because you like bitter tastes... no I just like coffee.

Don't let these theorists and ideas affect the way you feel. At the end of the day you're a human and so is everybody else, and there is no universal circumstance that shapes us all in the same way. We are all super different people.

I’m a middle child and I have siblings whatever I wanted I got it because I live a different and upscale life. As an adult , I still live a different and upscale life.

Depends upon parents how they have brought up their children.

Because a bunch of stupid punkasses gonna talk shit both online and in public about us. Bunch of fucking bullies, pedophiles, racists and other sick fucks out there.

Well every individual is diffrent.
Studies have shown that a high percent of single children in the home do become a problem. That some do act out or act spoiled.
But in individual cases they dont all act the same.

My youngest son feels like an only child but he doesn’t always get what he wants

Maybe not everything is true, however there are some distinct differences, such as social skills. It's not difficult to pick an only child out of a group when you watch how they interact with people

I am an only child. Growing up I was lonely, but certainly NOT "spoiled, selfish/self-absorbed, maladjusted, bossy, or antisocial". Just lonely.

[Lovecoffemate]

[COMMODOREII]

I always wanted to be an only child. 😥
