Interesting...totally wish I were the middle child.

Eldest children are socially dominant, highly intellectual, and extremely conscientious. Unfortunately, they’re also less open to new ideas, and prone to perfectionism and people pleasing-the result of losing both parents’ undivided attention at an early age, and working throughout their lives to

Me too, and I totally see it irl with friends who are the middle child or have middle child siblings.

I know me too! so strange

i don't think that would be true in every case, but i think it does have some truth to it. based on those descriptions, i'd want to be the eldest child. i wouldn't be a people pleaser because that's just not my personality, but i imagine if i was the oldest, i'd be the way i am now, only with more independence, initiative and confidence.

birth order wouldn't matter all that much when compared to overall upbringing.

i don't think i fit the youngest child description. i wonder how this applies to families with only two children. what would go in the middle?

true, I wouldn't want to be a people pleaser.Its funny though because my sister has OCD about everything.

[cherryblossomss]

wow. thats kind of true with my family. my brother isnt a people pleasing person though. nor is he a perfectionist.

and for the yougest child, im not very dependent on people. o.o

the middle child seems to be the most pleasing out of them all, but i alway here the being the middle child sucks because they never get attention and stuff.

[used_tissues]

yeah, I'm not dependent on people AT ALL.
so, I don't think I'm that much of a "younger" child.
But, then again...its not like there's a middle child in my family...unless you count my half sister...then my sister would be the middle child

being the middle child really isn't that glorious haha
