<p>I'm an only child. I guess it gets a little lonely sometimes...but mostly I like it :-) Everything's <em>mine</em>! Jk, but really I like being alone at home and not being bothered by people. Actually, I'd like to have a twin brother (i'm a girl). that way, I could blame everything on him, I wouldn't feel overshadowed, AND I'd have someone my own age to hang out with.</p>
<p>I'm an only child too...</p>
<p>I read a lot, write, paint, do stuff online. I invite people over to my house or I go over to theirs. Being an only child does get really lonely sometimes, but I suppose one adjusts.</p>
<p>i'm an only child as well
i just go online, chat, stalk girls
you know</p>
<p>uhm...not to be an a-hole, but don't any of you have friends? I'm not an only child, but my sis and I are 7 years apart..and she hasn't bee home for yrs...but when she does come home I hang out with her. </p>
<p>You people need to get a hobby :). Guys, join a gym...working out is a great hobby and entertaining. Get your friends to sign up as well. Become more social and when you're bored call up a friend to hangout. Whenever I'm bored, I go over to my friends house and time flies. Make sure you get your priorities in check though. </p>
<p>When I'm bored and no one is available, it can be lonely. When I was with my ex I would likely be talking to her or I would just be on AIM chatting. </p>
<p>But I try avoiding that as much as I can because it brings my mood down. I always try to stay busy.</p>
<p>wrestling is my life</p>
<p>parikhs, I do have tons of friends and I don't get lonely very often. It is only during those boring and no one is available times. And on family trips. Argh. I don't think that it is because we don't have any friends, it is just that we miss the companionship of a sibling. Someone to share inside jokes about their parents, or when they get old, they can discuss old memories together. A sibling is a lot more than a friend, and I really wish I had one.</p>
<p>oh, I see what you mean blythe...yeah I always wished I had a younger brother :-. My friend has 2 brothers and he can always ask one to play him in a game of pool or just chat him up and when he doesn't want to be bothered...tell him to go away lol. Having a sister isn't as good when you are a guy.</p>
<p>I'm an only child, and I hate it when people, upon finding out, say something like "Oh, so you were spoiled, right?" or something along those lines. Ever since I was little I remember people saying that, and I always felt like I had to be overly nice to people and let some just walk all over me beacuse if I didn't then I would be called selfish or something like that. Other kids with siblings have tantrums and that's ok, but if an only child does then it's because they've been soooo spoiled (I don't think I ever even threw a tantrum, maybe like once) I personally think that both sides have their benefits, but being an only child brings a ton of pressure, or so I've found. You are your parents' only hope basically, so if I'm not getting good grades or being an ideal kid or something like that, it feels like I'm letting them down or something. Also, they're way overprotective to the point of being silly. I'm seriously one of the most responsible non-risk taking people ever, and still it's like they think I'm going to go hang out with some friends and come home wasted with a bun in the oven or something:P I don't know, I would give anything to have a brother or sister. I tried to talk my parents into adopting for years when I was younger but eventually gave up because my mom wanted to but my dad wouldn't.
Oh, and also, I think the 'only children are spoiled' thing depends a lot on the parents. My parents didn't spoil me I don't feel, but on the other hand if someone's parents give them everything and don't discipline them then there's bound to be some issues there.
I don't know, I actually wish I was more aggressive because I feel like a big pushover sometimes. Meh.
Sorry this was so insanely long. I hate being an only child.</p>
<p>^^ I completely agree with Cindy
I have no car, and all of my friends moved away...
SO I surf the web, talk on AIM, go biking, sleep, play video games, read, and think, OH and I spend lots of time on CC!</p>
