Does anyone else feel lonely as an only child?
Is anyone here an only child? Sometimes I really feel bad about being one. I often wish I had an older brother or sibling because I feel lonely a lot of the time.
My closest friend always asks me, “What do you even do at home all day? Don’t you get bored being alone?” and honestly, I usually just say that I’m used to it now.
But deep down, it does make me sad sometimes. I never got to experience fighting with siblings, sharing a room, talking late at night, or just having someone around my age at home. It feels lonely in ways that are hard to explain.
I know being an only child also has advantages, but sometimes I really wish I had someone to grow up with. Does anyone else feel like this?
