But is that choice not influenced by you not being familiar with people in your age bracket because you were never forced to due to being in the same family?

No, it just gives you a "safe space", you're still expected, as a human being, to mesh with your peers.

That is a deflection from my question, not an answer. What is expected and what is preferred are two separate things.

Saying something is a choice is not enough, you have to get down to WHY someone is making that choice in the first place, and that is heavily influenced by fear and uncertainty, both of which wouldn't be there if you were exposed to that early in your development.

They wouldn't be there if your parents raised you not to pussy out of scary situations. A sibling is some free child rearing for your parents, your sibling is not a substitute for parenting.

And a big part of that parenting is making sure that you have siblings to associate with. You can't just tell a kid "don't be a pussy", you have to actually show them why they shouldn't be scared.
