What are the telling characteristics of an only child?

Asked by girlofscience (7567points) February 25th, 2009

People often ask me if I am an only child. When I say yes, they say they are not surprised.

Or, when people ask if I have any brothers or sisters and I say that I don’t, they say that it’s quite obvious I am an only child.

When I ask why, their answer is usually something like, “You just are.”

Haha. Um. Should I be offended?

What characteristics might I display that would make people assume that I am an only child (and be correct)?
