There’s nothing wrong with growing up alone. While we do appreciate our own company, we also have a tendency to feel lonely and envious of people who have siblings. We even occasionally pretend to be the victim of awful things that happen to us in order to acquire what we want. I realize that’s absurd! But it really is. You will either feel sorry for us or be relieved that we are the only child. Trust me on this. The only child syndrome is a thing.
To be honest, I wish people had some kind of guide or perhaps a warning sign. But it’s for you guys to read, not for us. For what reason? Since we are often an issue that nobody—not even ourselves—can effectively manage. Regardless of the situation, we are at the center of everything.Â
Imagine for a moment that we each had siblings. Whoa, man! Being the second mother, not having independence, being the big sister or brother, and sharing are all examples of this. Everything seems like something out of a nightmare for us to experience. Above all, we don’t want to share anything or take on responsibility for anyone else’s child. But in all honesty, we are unable to change who we are. We may sound greedy for attention, but truthfully, we are one of a kind. Nobody will ever have a horrible time with us. We’re the life of the party.
It’s a win-win situation when we can ask for anything we want and receive it with a pouty expression and big eyes. Being direct, truthful, kind, and that kind of person is the key to being an only child and getting our way. Yes, we experience loneliness every now and then since we don’t have siblings to keep us company, which, to be honest, causes emotional issues. The strangely wonderful thing is that we converse with ourselves to fill that sibling void. It’s strange, I admit, but at least it keeps us company. In addition to that, we are the only ones that truly pay attention to and understand us.Â
You’re undoubtedly asking yourself by now: are we spoiled because we’re the only child? Yes, we appreciate being pampered to the extreme. So don’t enter our life and try to unspoil us. Our presence, our kindness, has done great things. Literally, our breathing lights up the room. Most likely, before you can even say it, your mother will tell us that she loves us. Please understand that we will return the favor if you spoil us. But you’ll get the only child syndrome if you irritate us. That person thinks they are the center of the universe and is incredibly self-centered. Treat us properly to avoid that, and everything will work out. The only child syndrome is a real thing.
