Do you think being an only child, makes you shy.?


I guess what I'm trying to say is, does having brothers and sisters make it easier to talk to people?

If you have brothers/sisters, are you 1st born, 2nd born, 3rd born, etc. and how has that affected you??

I have 1 younger brother & he is the shy one, whereas I am the more aggressive one.

I had a brother....he went to feed the hogs one day and the hogs ate him.



I lied! I'm an only!



I da baby of the family!



I have an imanginary brother but I kept him tied up in the barn.



Just kidding....I ain't got no barn!

I have 3 brothers and one sister...2 brothers are older and one sister also is older then one younger then me

Hi lass, I have a step sister who is 10 yrs older than me and i did feel lonely as a child, i was really quiet and found it hard to mix, we also lived ina very isolated area so the only time i saw other children was at school . Think i was the only child who loved it when i was sent to bording school at the age of 10yrs i actually dreaded the school holidays.

I am the oldest of 9 children. I have 3 sisters and 5 brothers. I found that you get more responsibility as an older sibling. Both of my parents worked, so I helped raise all my younger siblings. None of my family are shy. All of them are outgoing and sociable. I might be more opinionated that my siblings though, and see possible dangers more quickly than them, because I had to do that as a child.

4 brothers...I am in the middle...copped heaps from the older two so beat the younger ones in revenge...
grew up total tomboy...loved to play war games and riding motorbikes...until I come a gutsa doing 80 km and hit my dads truck...
Boys since I was small have always been my mates rather than gals...

I am an only child with three younger brothers and a younger sister!

I am the oldest....I have two younger brothers....

Leave it to you Fallingman

I have 3 sisters, 2 older and one younger. I think it helped a lot to have them around!! Im not really shy of anything now! I think having your own kids helps with that too!!

Good morning everyone!!

Lol

"onlychildedness" is in the head.....it is not based on mere facts....like those pesky brothers and sisters

Yes i hear you there..damn them brothers and sisters

I have only one brother four years younger than me.He is great fun,funny,Bohemain and he is disparate than me.
It's fine to have brother or sister by you

I have 3 brothers, two older, one younger, 2 sisters which I am between (gee, that doesn't read well ). Childhood was frustrating. Older boys used to beat the crap out of me and I again would face the music if I touched the younger one. So I hung out with the sisters mostly. Funnt though, only stay in contact with 2 older bros

This is an interesting question because of my dysfunctional family...LOL

I have one brother and one sister from both parents. The brother is now dead.

Then there is the extended brothers and sisters. Wife #1 1 son wife #2..1 son wife #4...2 sons and a daughter,

Then there is my mother...husband #2 1son....Husband # 3 2 daughters

Then there is the fact that I was raised in foster care...so there are about a million other foster brothers.

Of all these, I am only in contact with my younger Sister, Diane. BTW...I am, at 57, the oldest living member of my family

I have 2 siblings...a sister and brother..both younger (alot), but there's a big age gap, so its more like I'm an only child..LOL

not sure on the confidence things, but it made me a great babysitter and a better mom..cuz of them..

I am the youngest of 4, though I don't claim my siblings. I can talk to anyone.

My daughter is an only child. She can talk to anyone.

I am middle in a family of 8 siblings.....4 boys and 4 girls.....Not so nice mother as i was sent to look after my grandmother at 11 years of age and my grandmother was 80......it was the best thing she did for me even though i hadnt much of a childhood as i needed a grannysitter when i wanted to go just to the cinema...i dont have much dealings with some of my brothers and sisters but my best friend is my oldest sister......now i am a mother of 8 and wont do to them what was done to me....So i thank my mother for teaching me what not to do to my kids what she did to hers.....

I'm an only child...

sometimes those are the best lessons. My foster parents taught me much of my values the same way. I just do the opposite of what they did
