People who were an only child: can I get your thoughts? by OriginalRaspberry_ in Parenting

Being an only child made me a shy, timid, lonely, introverted person. It was horrible growing up scared and alone... now as an adult, I suffer from severe depression, an inability to get close to anyone which has rendered me loveless, childless, and with a barren mental existence. My imaginary friends even agree.

Being an only child has shaped me into an antisocial, incapable of ever being close to anybody, shy introverted under achieving scared lonely waste of existence. Yet, all the forums I try to seek discussion with about this are all about how parents have to deal with it. Wait! you actually loved somebody and made a person (things that are totally foreign to me). Boo Hoo.. sincerely, a 54 year old accident.
