Does Birth Order Affect Your Personality?

Discussion

There's no stereotypes about what your position in your family says about you.

Oldest kids are the most responsible, the ones in the middle are rebels and since I'm the youngest, I must be spoiled.

Only children are selfish

The oldest is overbearing and competitive.

The youngest always has to get what he/she wants.

Experiences a person had as a kid could have big impacts on their personality as an adult.

Child's position in their family would have a big impact on their development because each kid would experience a different psychological environment.

Firstborn child starts out as the spoiled only child and is basically

dethroned when the next sibling comes along after getting bumped, the oldest child ends up overbearing and neurotic since they feel responsible for looking after their younger siblings.

Middle born children on the other hand, they're likely to feel overlooked and become the rebels of the family.

Youngest children might be babied by their parents, they typically end up the most spoiled.
