Growing up an only child was definitely a different experience, to say the least. There were amazing parts and not-so-great parts about it but overall, my parent's decision to only have one child was a wonderful one. Here are the things that hopefully every only child can relate to.

1. Your imaginary friends always had your back.

I remember all of my imaginary friends. I would constantly be talking to them and telling them about my day, since I didn't have anybody else to talk to. I hope they're doing okay.

2. You hate sharing.

Since I never had to deal with sharing toys and learning to take turns, I get a bit salty when somebody asks for a bite of my food or to borrow something. Honestly, the thought of having one of my friends borrowing my clothes is a bit unsettling.

3. You're kind of spoiled.

Let's be real here: With me being the only child, I basically got everything that I asked for. My parents didn't have to worry about upsetting the other sibling, making them jealous, or me asking for something and being told no because they had to spend money on a brother or sister.

4. You got kind of lonely.

Since it was just me, my mom, and my dad, I didn't have anybody in the household closer to my age to talk to or fight with. It was pretty boring, that's for sure.

5. You don't have a lot of crazy stories to tell.

"I remember one time my sibling did..." is certainly a conversation starter when talking about family. Every one of my friends seems to have a crazy story to tell, and I feel like I don't have a single one. "Yeah, wanna know something crazy my brother did? Not exist!"

6. You feel left out on National Siblings Day.

Every single year on Twitter, I make it a point to take a picture with my thumb over the camera lens, tweet it, and caption it #nationalsiblingsday. This will never not be funny to me, and I will probably be making this joke for the rest of my life.

7. You always had your own room.

Since I was so used to being alone in my room and doing whatever I wanted, going to college and sharing a room was something that I had to get used to.

8. You're very independent.

Because of the lack of people in my house, I feel like I know how to fend for myself. I really do not get homesick or feel like I cannot function without my family. I can literally spend a whole entire day by myself and have the time of my life.

9. Your parents were a bit overprotective.

Confession: I still don't know how to ride a bike. Every time I would try and learn, I'd fall and scrape my knees and was told to go back inside. I wasn't allowed to have Heelys (remember those?) because my parents didn't want me getting hurt. I was their only kid, so they wanted to take extra steps to protect me.

10. You hate conflict.

Since I never fought with any siblings, I feel intimidated when people have a problem with me. I avoid confrontation at all costs.
