I am an only child.

So you have no siblings, either biological nor adopted?
0_Apprentice
No I do not and it was lonely growing up.

Only children are actually pretty uncommon throughout history.
0_Apprentice

Although, from around the middle of the 20th century, birth rates actually fell and so did the average family size, mostly due to increasing costs of raising children.
