I was raised as an only child within a large family.

(I’m not kidding.)

Really? Very different from most single children.

Must have had some interesting life experiences.

I am from a large family and my sharpness was honed as the oldest of 6 children and living with your competitors for 18 years will only improve your skills.

I was raised as an only child within a large family.

Me too. By the time I was seven, all four of my siblings were up and out, leaving me as an "only child."
