This is soooo me... again

Second born children are often loners. They may have trouble latching on to a person in a relationship. They may also have trouble making decisions in school and in a career. Second or middle borns are usually artistic and creative, but don’t work well under pressure. They have a history of starting projects and never finishing them. When choosing a career, most middle or second children would be best suited for something where they could freely express themselves, have flexible hours and frequently changing projects.

  1. Adler's birth order and sibling relationship theory... Don't let it affect you too much or lead to self-fulfilling prophecy because the theory has its limits. It was developed based on Adler's own observations and experiences so the reliability and accuracy of it is questionable :) On a lighter note, Adler also said that second born children tend to be high-achievers. They always work extra hard to be one step ahead of their elder sibling because life feels like a competition to them to always be better or strive for superiority over inferiority feelings at being born second and thus perceived as weaker compared to the firstborn. Second born children also tend to succeed in different aspects of life compared to the first born eg. if first born is good in sports, the second born will strive for success in academic endeavors instead :)
