Did your birth order influence your personality? I think mine did. I was second to the oldest but the oldest was several years older and from a different father so I fell into the category of first born in the pop psychology theories of personality development. Read about it to see where you fall into it, if you do.
For example, because of my first born status I have the (pop-psy) traits of leadership, conforming and being more social. This is contrasted by the theory that later borns are more rebellious and open to new ideas.
If you don't have the time to read about these theories just tell us about your siblings and where you fit into the chronology of births in your family.
I'll enjoy learning more about you.
My sibling info will be in my tip jar.
Tell us about your siblings and where you fit into the chronology of births in your family? Did your birth order affect your personality?
