I will give my opinion as an only child.
While growing up sometimes I did miss having a sibling. There are some things you are more comfortable sharing with your siblings. And I think it may have made me a little reserved as well. Childhood toh I was very shy. Luckily for me I have a cousin who I bond well with. He's like an elder brother only.
It also depends on financial strength as well.
But one positive thing is I never had any competition in family. No useless academic comparisons etc. Parents ka undivided attention aur love mila.π
But haa I will also add one of my friends has 5 siblings. ( Dandwat pranaam to her motherπ) and there's never a dull moment in her family.π€£
