Sometimes I think I was adopted because I am so different from my family members (speaking of siblings). No major differences, but minor stuff, but there are MANY differences. Stuff like siblings like to talk a lot, I don’t. They don’t care if the lights are on and no one is in the room or if the TV is on while no one is watching it. Things like that.
So who else here thinks that they don’t fit in their family and they are very different.
Re: …Odd Ducks…
One of my brother’s likes to have his music on full blast and this can be really annoying near exam time. He leaves all the tvs in the house on all the time (even though he’ll be watching only one of them 
). In my case I wouldn’t say i’m the odd duck but yeah every family has one 
Oh I so feel you Mr. Shikra. I feel adopted too at times .. because I'm so different from my siblings. For instance they all talk a lot, I dont .. I love reading and none of them likes that. I prefer a book above a movie anytime. I love science so far (except two youngest who dont have science yet) none of them like it ...
What else?.. I love spicy food, they dont! .. I hate when the stuff is not puttet on the right place and guess wht? None of them cares .. I could keep on!! ..
I think the biggest difference is I like to do my own stuff and my siblings are lazy asses who will be next to the trash can but still ask me to throw it out .. uff tauba!!:p
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
I am glad to know that I am not only one who's different than his siblings. :D
We get along fine but it's just that our habits are different and sometimes when there's a clash and they understand each other (for obvious reasons) and I just stay quiet because I know that that's how it will always be. Oh well.
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
There are a lot of things but what bothers me the most is my way of thinking is termed to 'gora like' at times by immediate and extended family members. It's quite depressing.
Re: …Odd Ducks…
People always say that i do not look like the sister of my siblings and this time around when i visited someone in oman, they said i do not even look like my parents:eek:
where did i come from?
chai:
BINGO!
There are things that I do (i.e. if there’s nothing to talk about, I’ll stay quiet, if someone is doing something wrong, instead of providing blind support, I’ll point out the faults in family members) and they don’t like when I do that. They would rather keep talking about random stuff, even repetitive stuff, when there’s nothing to talk about and it becomes an issue of “tum tou hamesha doosron ki side letey ho” 
Aisha are you talking about physical appearance or habits etc.?
I’m a quiet person and a couple of elders back home once made fun of me for being too quiet, which I reckon was quite a silly thing to do.
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
sohail bhai looks is one of the major things but habit etc are different too..
my sisters are more outgoing and i am the shy reserved type of person
It’s ok, I get the same response from people. I look nothing like my mom, dad or my brothers. Strangely enough people always think my aunt (khala) is my mum 
Re: …Odd Ducks…
same here 
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
Sometimes I think I got mixed up in the hospital and got changed with the baby of some other family to the family I got raised in. Anybody else feels like it ?

That's exactly me and my siblings.
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
We're all different in our own little ways (from a siblings perspective).
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
^ Yea but differences like favorite color, food etc. are understandable but things (although minor) like one talking less than the others are a different story. Let me shed some more light on it, and I am just using this as an example. If one brother/sister talks less than other siblings, that's not a big deal, right, but it is a big deal when instead of accepting you as you are, they point it out and really try that you talk like them. That bothers me because if I talk less, I don't ask my siblings to become like me and talk less, then why should they try to make me talk more. This is may not be a perfect example, but I hope I made sense.
^ ur not a big talker?...well u talk A LOT on gs!..
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
I knew someone would point that out :D Most of my posts are nothing but pure flooding back when I was new (2002-2003), and it took me 6 years to talk this much. Sure I've talked a lot since the day I started talking, but we are talking about daily chat.
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
haha I lived first 8 years of my life, with my sister telling me how ammi/abbi janee has picked me up from the garbage.. of course it wasn't true, thats when I used to ask main is duniya main kasiay ayee..thats the answer I would get.. I used to cry like a mad person.. haha good days.
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
All of my siblings are very different.... but I think Im the most different out of all of them. Some of my siblings are very very serious and conservative (religious), and the ones that arent so religious or conservative, they're still very serious and reserved. They dont like to befriend just anyone, they're very private about their personal life and dont like family baatein leaked out to anyone unless its other relatives. Im quite opposite... Im very liberal and open minded, very talkative and outgoing, totally goofy and not so strict yet with religion but hope to be inshallah. As for family secrets/problems I hate it when they tell other relatives cuz I think thats where some of our biggest enemies are, but I always talk to my friends about my problems.
Re: ...Odd Ducks...
lol adopted.. subhanallah. what makes u think that bro.. say thanks to Allah you have a family.
i know what you're saying, i do not talk much and my siblings do and yes just like you, i do get those words of me not talking enough, being reserved.etc alhamdulillah..
also i don't know if ur the older of the siblings, it is common for the older child to talk less. ..
