Being the only child is not enjoyment but a state of sadness, loneliness. You don't have anybody to talk to as a brother or sister and is very annoying situation. Anything that affects you also affect your dear parents. Where laziness and over pamper is another aspect of your life caused by your parents. Don't even try to dream to be the only child.

you can have siblings yet not get along with them, or they are favored over you.

@mezvinsky i have several siblings, but it seemed you're only focused on how "tragic" being an "only child" is as i read how you reacted to those that responded here.

Oh maybe you can find friends who will stand in as your brother or sister. Don't feel so lonely. I'm sure you have cousins/relatives and neighbors and schoolmates you can be happy with.

@mezvinsky Well there are friends you can count on of course. It all depends on how you are as a person and how you treat them and how they also interact with you.

But can friends be equate as brothers or sisters. Can they take up your responsible when you're down? Or run an errand for you? They may but not everything for you.

Having siblings doesn't always equate to fun. I have brothers but I do not talk to them about problems. I instead have my friends and really close cousins for that. Don't get me wrong, my brothers and I, we're ok. But we barely talk about intensely personal stuff. And we have zero common interests. We are also geographically away from one another. We don't get to bond. So yeah I have siblings but I still have sad days.

@mezvinsky well in that case, everything has both positive and negative , we cant help. Nothing on this earth is completely advantageous and completely disadvantageous.

Also count the disadvantages also and equate them and see the efficiency.

Well, I've observed that too to my brother in law. Also, I noticed that my brother-in-law has this attitude that annoys me, he has no concept of personal space, he wanted to know the personal problems of others and give unsolicited advice. I do not know if that is one of the effects of being only child or something else.

@mezvinsky Yes maybe but he must understand the word "privacy" . He must wait for the that people to share her/his story or problem, don't go beyond that point .

Part of it, but your brother in-law is a carer. People are like that too.
