If you're an only child, do you feel like you missed out on so much by not having a sibling?

If you're an only child, do you feel like you missed out on so much by not having a sibling? Do you feel if you ever had children, you would definitely want more than one because of this? Or on the other side, have you been perfectly happy never having a sibling.

I spent time with two cousins during the summers in my youth and did not get along with either one. With one we would bicker and fight a lot due to being territorial and set in our ways and the other one never argued with me but would make fun of me behind my back and now hates my guts and has been ignoring me in my own home for 15 years after I paid a visit to her home in china years ago.

It is what it is. But, yes, I do wishbI had more people around growing up. It was quite lonely.

Yes.


When you are a guy that hasn’t spent much time with a brother or in a locker room, you end up a bit “shy”.


There are a lot of careers out there that require a guy be “confident” when training and cohabiting with other guys.


Careers that could provide a guy with wealth, dignity, recognition, confidence, etc…..

I'm a trans-onlychild. Because I identify so.
Not having my brother actually is a relief to me; and the few who know us confirm it.
This had no influence on my own wish for kids: I never wanted or planned them; but they were and are welcome.
I'm happy.

They missed out on getting picked up and thrown by their brothers who just watched pro wrestling. Oh the fun that was, mhm...

not an only child but my close friend is

she would say she used to feel bored all time

[TheSpaceGnome]

Nope, I'm good, and I don't want any kids.

I just want a wife and pets.

I was an only child for 19 years. I didn’t feel that way.

No my friends became my siblings. I was an only child up til age 13.
