you gave me a very good reason.I am the only child too, and I prefer to be alone too.I enjoy it very much in fact.But others dont’ understand,they thought I am suffering.But some of those who hate being alone are not only child neither.And those who loves being alone like I do are not neccessarily persons with siblings. So what’s the real reaon for some pleople prefer to be along remains uncertain. I think human beings have this instinct to always avoid harmness and always try to gain benefits from the situations he/she is under.So I guess people prefer to be alone believe that he/she can’t get anything beneficial from being together with others so they choose to be alone.They reason for them to have this kind of belief is the experience they had during growing up.
