Middle Child Syndrome

yar kinda true...here n there..Originally posted by FireIce:there can be a few explanations of this middle child syndrome.....
here's one of them
The middle or second born child or children often have the sense of not belonging. They fight to receive attention from parents and others because they feel many times they are being ignored or dubbed off as being the same as another sibling. Being in the middle a child can feel insecure. The middle child often lacks drive and looks for direction from the first born child. Sometimes a middle child feels out of place because they are not over achievers and like to go with the flow of things.
Being a middle child would mean they are loners. They really don’t like to latch on to a person in a relationship, there fore they have trouble keeping one due to lack of interest. Not liking to take the limelight for anything, they are not over achievers and just simply work enough work to get by, and typically that goes with school as well as a career. They are however very artistic and creative. If forced to use abilities they will work well, but do not work well under pressure. They often start several projects but rarely keep focused long enough to finish a project. The best career move for a middle child would be along the lines of using their creative. Going into a writing or journalism career, and into a career that they could freely express themselves would be good. Anything that would have hours that are flexible, and projects that frequently changed would be good for a middle born child. Since relationships are not of high importance to a middle child, often times they are alone. However, the best possible match for a middle child would be a last born.

i'm the middle, oldest and youngest child

Warrao eh....I was shocked to death reading this. Line after line, it was so accurate. The more I read, the more shocked I got.
But sometimes when Im away from my home country, I think I switched into another personality. More active and independent. Kinda become another person. I think this birth order thing is only very accurate if you are around the family environment....so your mind will be tuned into that setting. -
I'm an only child but I'm not exactly at the peak of self-esteem at times, usually its outside the home that I change a little.

maybe my era still got ppl give birth to 3 or more

Ok, first para is not me, coz i dont need to fight for attention. Sometimes I wish I can move out and stay away from the conundrum of family life. Too 'noisy' sadly. Too much prying into my private affairs. Some things, family dont have to know. Looking to first child for direction and over achiever thingie....whoever have seen my bro know that overachiever..is an understatement. But heck, he need to be led by the nose for a lot of basic stuff. How many times do you have to say "No!" before someone understand and back off?Originally posted by FireIce:there can be a few explanations of this middle child syndrome.....

Second para is a fairly accurate description though. And no, I dont want to marry a last born. The most outstanding characteristic of a last born is their willfullness, something I will not tolerate in the long term. -
yes i m middle child..
true tat its hard to have attention from parents, cos no matter wat, the elder have more impt priorites, and compared to the younger sibling, they always need more attention...
yup since young, would tend to follow e elder, but after that no more..i have my own drive, and goals to attain, which is something that e passage stated e opposite..
oh but well, it was an interesting passage.. -
what about those forever never grown up child?

Supposedly if u are the only daughter in a male dominated family, you may have a bit of masculine side on you.ANd vice versa.
