>Be me
>Exist
>No other siblings
>Somehow this means I automatically aquire every bad personality trait imaginable
>Don't really mention that I'm an only child, because who cares?
>Find out that people apparently and retardedly DO care
>Ok, so what the fuck do I do?
What do you even say to dispel these terrible assumptions?
Why do people buy bullshit that isn't real?
It's not accepted by any mental health professional or scientist that "OCS" is real. It's total titktok bullshit.
I just want advice on how to navigate a social situation where I have to play defense for existing as an only child.

So do you have trouble sharing? Are you spoiled?

Enlighten me, I would love to have a new tool in my belt.

Not spoiled, a define "trouble sharing" because that could mean anything.
It's not a real diagnosis and I know you don't have the training to make a diagnosis anyway so save the pop-psych.

It's mostly exaggerated shit that hyper focuses in familial upbringing to explain or define personality. The thing is it's mostly correct, but it's only correct about 1 cornerstone out of maybe 4 or 5 that make up the rest of your personality. There's more to people than just upbringing influence.
I'm last-born/youngest child. Apparently they say it means I am manipulative, entitled, opportunistic, but also aimless and lacking discipline. Maybe some of these are true. But how I use these traits in my actions is what counts. Rather than manipulate, I persuade others into encouragement for themselves. Rather than entitlement, I have a sense of ambition. And as for opportunism, yeah I'll gladly own that. It's the thing that kept me from being aimless lol
But thing is, there's more influences to me than parents. Such as my first friends, my time at school, the teachers, my first heartbreaks/relationships, people I knew in work, because I knew online, random stranger during one off encounters at bus stops. All of it influences and imprints. Hell even fictional characters too, movies shows or books.
The human mind is far too multifaceted to dumb down into just family upbringing models. Even if those models are relatively accurate they can become inaccurate as hell once you are adult and outgrew them

As for the deeper psycho-babble about first-born/only child's. You have two archetypes at play. First born & only child "syndrome".
Which means blah blah blah you feel like you are responsible for your entire life, including those who enter your life. You burden yourself with tremendous responsibility, going as far as to care how you are received or perceived for the sake of wanting to know the "right" way to do things. It's bo wonder why your OP image is Peter Parker, an only child, a man who despite all his loneliness, feels responsible for the fate of everything and carries everything on his shoulders. A struggling super hero who only gets stronger the more he struggles etc.
But that's just my own stab at psycho babble while taking a shit in the toilet as I type this. Anyway you can safely discard all of it, it's all just me tak farting. Life is about actions not thoughts
