way more introvertive and thus have had a plethora of hobbies centered around just being with myself which i think is a postive because i seldom experience boredom.
s*** can still get lonely at times

I was an only child and I didn’t notice problems with my self until I was around 16 (prime dating years). It was hard for me to care and love someone more than myself. All my life it was about entertaining myself and it’s hard to just adjust that out of my routine.
Another thing I notice about myself is all throughout school I was an exceptional writer and story teller. My imagination was always better and more vivid then my friends, due once again to entertaining myself.
Looking back somethings could have been different but I don’t waste much time looking backwards. I was blessed to have 5 friends in my life with 2 of those relationships lasting 20 years and the other 3 close to 20 years. Without them I would have to be with a therapist weekly, but they kept me balanced.
first paragraph probably why i'm the way i am in relationships sometimes i don't feel like being a boyfriend. that obligation to talk & do stuff with a person urk me at times cause i really value & enjoy my own time & being on my own time
s*** like this prolly why my mom considered me spoiled i have an only child type attitude 🤦🏾
Nah family is extremely important. nobody got you & love you like family, even if u weren't blessed into a good family appreciate whatever good u have within it cause that s*** is genuinely worth the world
Maybe it’s just an outlier thing, but I’ve never known a single only child person who wasn’t a total narcissist. Everything always revolves around them.
Like I said, I bet it’s not always that way but it’s all ive ever seen. Thread is interesting to see from my perspective
i was quite the b****** as a child

It sucks cause it’s not our fault. We as children are adapted to being alone that we are accustomed to it. Like growing up and even to this day, I always had headphones in around the house, but my girl had to tel me to stop...little things like that man
i feel that writing thing and vivid imagination thing heavy i was exactly like that too
and also agree once u get a bit older u start to notice some things u may lack in comparison to ppl who grew up with siblings, its like normal to them to always have somebody else there i mean as normal as it was for us only childs to always kinda be by ourselves its a weird feeling for sure once u get some perspective.
This. I'm usually always alone lol

Im one of six so its hard to imagine being an only child, even tho i have some friends who are
Living by myself is a nightmare tho I cant handle the silence im so used to noise day in and day out
Also very draining to be an elder child among six, lots of responsibilities
Also yall niggas dont be sharin for S*** 😡😡
Remember growing up with a childhood bestfriend and mans never gave me nothing even tho i gave to him thats some BULLSHIT

This is strange to me, I'm very sensitive to noises and I honestly couldn't imagine living with that many people

Writing and storytelling is on point, love entertaining my friends too with stories
i had one older brother and now that we're both in our 20s, we get along, but we did not share many memories or bonding experiences growing up. in fact, i was kind of scared of him and our relationship always feels a little off now when we talk about our childhoods. so it can go both ways.
I guess I just romanticized having a brother. I’m writing something and be like damn this would have been lit to write together with younger brother who just totally vibe with me and help me with our work.
Tbh I never worried about not having any siblings but recently the thought of getting old and not having any family in the distant future f***ed me up.
Word if I m rich and wife’s rich too def want at least 2 kids in future for big family

Def love being myself mostly. Have headphones on and listening to music pretty much entire time tho

that makes perfect sense to me. many people long for what they didnt have. a healthy brotherly relationship would be great! maybe if you have kids one day this will influence how many

My moms always called me greedy when I was young
