Only child. Nice in the sense you get all the attention, your own room, "spoiled" (although that varies from parent to parent). However the long term social issues more then make up for all the good. First time I ever associated with anyone in my age group (0 - 18 yrs old) was pre-school and to this day I have never had a "roommate" who wasn't at least 30 years older then me, including my parents. I have always said if I ever get married, god help the woman who gets conned into that.

How are your head issues indicative of problems with being an only child?

Because it points to lack of social development from being an only child. It is very common among people who don't grow up around people their age. It is very possible there are other factors, but you can't deny that a big part of that is not having siblings to socialize with.

I have seen it dozens of times with the other people I know who grew up in similar situations.

Yeah, people with siblings really underestimate the importance of it. Luckily, I always had friends in my neighborhood I hung out with so I've grown up relatively socially well adjusted but it still wouldve been much better for me to have a sibling around instead of searching for that kind of bond outside of my immediate family when I was younger
