If you're off its cause you off ain't got nothing to do with being middle of anything :lol:

I'm a middle child, probably the most stable (married with kids) than my brothers, but really we're all doing pretty good in life.

People always look at outside reason for why they the way they are. If you think you're off and don't like make a change.
 
If you're the middle child, but you have a twin that was born before you...are you the middle child?

:nerd:

OP... if you're adopted and you're age falls between the oldest and youngest.

Does that make you a middle child?

This is what I feel about middle child (syndrome) and I am a middle child one of five
 Adding second and third children greatly impacts the family structure, and a middle child is created. Yes, the “Middle Child Syndrome” is very real. Middle kids bemoan their fate as being ignored and often grow resentful of all the parental attention given to the oldest and the baby of the family, and feel short-shifted. Three kids triangulate sibling relationships, with one child at any given point feeling like the odd man out from the chumminess of the other two.
Parents tend to be much more easy-going, less anxious, and less demanding with second and third children. Thus many middle children grow up with a more relaxed attitude towards life than their older siblings; though they have to compete for family attention against the milestones set by the oldest, and growing up in their shadow. Middle children have to try a little harder to “be heard” or get noticed. The middle child usually has to fight harder for the attention of their parents and therefore crave the family spotlight. They may feel that they do not get as much praise as the older children for simple firsts like tying a shoe or riding a bike. Those things just become expected.

Don't know what weird stuff everyone is talking about....... 
 
I'm middle. More independent then my brothers. As far as attention, never cared for it much. Older brother was sports superstar, younger brother is super smart, I always just did my own thing. They both got to be 'only children' at points in their life (before I was born, when me and my older brother moved out) idk, personally I think it's much ado about nothing. I got taught and got a chance to teach. We're six years apart respectively. Lived with older brother for a bit. Got hand me downs, and handed down. Idk, I'm sure it shapes my personality in some profound way...but honestly...not a huge deal to me. I think where the family at various points had more to do with my personality.

First born = strong personality, likely to to be a role model for your siblings, thus creative and non conformist

Second = military cause he wanted to be "tougher" than his older brother

Youngest (girl) = hippie, environmentalist cause her bros always did some stupid **** and she wanted to be the most "caring", thus the enviromentalist thang

First born, u alone and rely on imagination...spent your formative years tryna entertain yourself. When you hit adolescence, trying to entertain yourself results in problems. Middle bro looks at that like "damn, he's having a lot of fun but he's always at odds with authority, not good." Let me get that structure. Youngest sis like "yall both right, but your both wrong....you can have fun but be grounded by universal law...let me borrow some of yall paper."
 
NT isn't where you're gunna get a diverse sample to ask this question

Most of us here, especially the ones that have been here for a long time, are different and "weird" to your average joe already. Regardless of our siblings.

I'm a middle child if it matters.
