Lately , i have started thinking a lot about this, dunno if it is worth giving so much thought !!
But cant stop myself, because as we all say "idle mind in a devil's workshop", i have been too lonely and idle for a long time now...(not sitting totally idle, but not squeezing my brains)
Sitting alone in the mess hall having a cup of tea or sitting alone in the classroom waiting for fellow mates to come or sitting alone in the cafeteria looking at the Coke bottle...all i feel is that am i so lonely here that i have nobody to talk to ? or is it always been like this for me, and i am noticing that only now?
I see my friends, they have their siblings elder/younger to share all this to, to get opinions from, to get a support while arguing with their parents, to hide their mistakes, to give them gifts in the expected style, and lot more things that i have'nt maybe observed yet...
Yes the only person who i talk to everyday without fail is my mom, and nobody else...what do i tell her everyday?? sometimes she does'nt understand the college stuffs and it becomes difficult for me to convince her, so i feel its better not to tell her things that would make her nervous...
But who else can i talk to...??? That is when i think i should have a bro/sis
Infact i have also observed 2 typical characters of the only children...
1. they never want to be left alone in the crowd and that's the reason they stick to people even if they don't adore them.
else
2. They become too reserved and keep things to themselves, not allowing anybody to get close
There is an insecurity among the only children which they hide by being very lively and friendly, but inside they would surely not be the same..
People say that "you are lucky that you are only child, you would get all the attention, parents 100% care is for you, you need not share anything and blah blah", but tell m frankly "who does'nt like a fighting bro/sis, sharing things with them even if it starts with a fight, you always know that no matter what happens there is soul out there apart from your parents who gets hurt if you are hurt too.... Every only child definitely wants a sibling at all stages of life to share thoughts or atleast to fight
And yeah this is not an instant thought, i have been thinking about this since a long time and have also observed similar feelings among the Only Children that i have come across.
**Maybe this won't be accepted by some, but i bet many would
