Praise Love hahahahaha yep lol I’m middle kid and I’m the only one of my brother and sisters who have a degree, I’m very intelligent etc but I am into fantasy stuff etc but damn lol 😂
As a first born and big sister of 4 siblings I say that what I see in this video is true Because the first one gets nothing by nothing I mean like objects we let you choose first and we get the last thing because we don't care anymore the last one... I don't have to explain them it's because they are the last one but the middle one is correct they are more social then the first and last one which is good because they have more friends. if you say "but the middle one must respect the first one and is responsible for what the last one does" is also true but not in this way. They tell you to respect the first one because they are also responsible for what YOU AND the last child do. And you are responsible for the last one just because to learn respect, to learn what the first one is going through *THAT'S THE TRUTH HERE*
I'm the middle child who has an older brother who is irresponsible but was given the benefit of the doubt and he kept making mistakes. Instead of fixing their mistakes on my older brother they took it out on me and over fix things on me. Then they babied my Youngest sibling because she is the baby and saw only great potential.
I'm a middle child, and I'm not like that, I always get to be blame at everything, even if you're not involve in a fight between the first and last born child.
Me too, except my older sibling is 13 years older than me so I sort of have both middle and first born qualities. But strangely, none match. I'm still blamed for everything though when it's my younger siblings fault. Guess I'm doomed for unhappiness.
Only children get worshipped by those who have siblings. And no, we are not lonely, as we learn to be without other people for a longer period of time.
Well im oldest between me and my brother. So i get blamed A LOT, but i have some debate skill and i also have courage to confront justice to my parents, strangely my mom proud of my debating skill lmao
I'm always being compared to my older sister. My mother always says things like "Your sister ALWAYS got A's, while you only gets C's." or "Your sister draws better than you" (My profile picture is one of her drawings she made for me) I could be happier if my mother didn't do this to me ALL THE TIME. I don't blame my sister, i love her by the way, and I understand that it's my mother's fault, since my sister didn't choose to be the first. Sorry if I misspelled something, english is not my first language.
I'm sorry your mother acts like that :( I just want to let you know that even if other will compare you to your sister, you are your own person, not her. Do what you want to make yourself happy and no one else!
Your mom sounds like a bit of a jerk. I don't seem to see my parents doing that with my younger brother, but if they did I'd be sure to say something about it.
Kami Lee She doesn't sound like a bit of a jerk, she IS a jerk. My sister always defends me, but my mom always argues and when my side is wining she says "Ugh, Stop whining, I'm tired."
Well we can get away with a lot of things. Like when we are little steal candy that your parents said not to touch. Because of not much attention, but if you do it too often they will expect you.
Something you should add to middle child: Gets caught in the middle (oops just made a bad joke) of events that they didnt cause in any way. The middle child also gets scholded at by their parents.
Everyone but the youngest gets scolded and everyone gets caught in the middle of an argument between the other two at some point thats just part of having siblings lol
I have very sensitive ears and want to cry when i get yelled at and my parents are good parents but they get mad when i don’t turn in two assignments and i have to be peacemaker when my little brother with autism and my teenage older get mad at each other. I am very quiet and loud at home sometimes but i am mainly quiet and keep to myself and i was once embarrassed about something happening and was talking to me and she yelled it out and i want to hide in my bed with a good texture blanket.
I'm an only child and instead of being spoiled I've become self reliant. With no one to depend on you learn to do everything yourself. I wonder if I would be the same if I had a sister or brother.
Leonard Durecki That's the opposite for this one kid in my class that's an obnoxious fuck. He's 13 years old and doesn't know how to cook scrambled eggs. Or do anything for himself his mom just does everything. And if he forgets *his* homework he just blames it on her. I mostly just wanted to rant about that. Bye.
Yea it happens to me as well, i am an only child and I have learned to do everything myself. And I have grow to be very independent of my parents or anybody, I enjoy my time alone and can perfectly be fine by myself. I also question if it would have been different with siblings...
I was an only child and my parents cared more about themselves than me. Only children also can be the subject for parents to be more controlling if one is unlucky to be born to an abusive family. It's even worse because you don't have siblings to rely on.
As the middle child of three siblings, I've become the scapegoat for everyone. Trust me, siblings aren't as great as they're cracked up to be. Being an only child would be nice, and I would be happier.
Me: huh I wonder what this video says about middle children? I bet it'll match me perfectly! Video: * absolutely roasts middle children* Me: MIDDLE CHILDREN DON'T GET JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD!
Psych2Go Being an only child has its pros and cons. Pros include me getting all my parents affection and attention + resources. And cons include loneliness (which I experience often).
Feels as well bad to say this,but the last one doesn't match my little brother either.He's not much of an altruistic person.He's very chaotic and seems cold...
The girl talking in the video: we will explore the positive findings.... *waits to find out that the middle child (yes I'm one of them) has nothing positive at all me: well isn't that just positive...😑😑
Messy Trash I know right! I literally ONLY watched this video because nobody talks about the middle children, and at the beginning of the video she said that she would be talking about 'positive' qualities, but what the hell!
@Brethor um well i re watched the video because why not and that's when i saw his irrelevant af comment so i had t let him no that he is not needed her. There are almost 8 billion ppl on this planet and not one asked for his input so he gotta face the truth and if not... Thank you next.
Besides being spoiled materially, my experience was mostly negative. As the only one, I developed anxiety because I had unattainable expectations placed on me to succeed, I was treated as a pet more than a child because my parents didn’t have a frame of reference for parenting children, my parents were extremely protective of me so they wouldn’t let me hang out with just anyone, leading to me becoming socially stunted and unable to make friends or even behave normally in social situations. Sure us only kids get “spoiled” (I put spoiled in quotations because... like how are we not? We’re the only kid they’ve got), but rarely do we come out as well as children with siblings. It’s no fun being “spoiled” when you’re in a room full of toys and no one to play with. The envy needs to stop. There’s nothing to envy.
Token Sharma Oh I see I will give you a virtual hug 🤗 Why? Because you deserve it, and you are loved by many (sorry that it’s weird coming from a complete stranger)
Actually first born who have more than 2 or 3 siblings are people who are serious when it come to things.They are caring and basically they shoo off other younger ones if they do things wrong in wrong way.They are more matured or become matured compared to their peers due to the responsibilities and there experiences.They are more patient too.
I'm last born and I use fancy words( I say this everyday at my job) we have to organize the books sequentially so it will be easier for the consumer to find it.
I'm a first born child and I don't think it is true either I am terrible at math and science, I am always nervous, and when I was younger I took speech classes because I couldn't speak very well. The middle child is true to the 3rd older child in my family. The 2nd older sibling is always compared to me because he doesn't try at all. The youngest sibling doesn't listen to anyone in my family, is super rude and mean doesn't exactly try and gets mad easily.
I thought longer about this and my thesis is that many of these things are because of how your parents treated you. Many who were last born, probably weren't treated like one, but often you can find similar tendencies in families and this is on what this is based on.
I'm middle child and the description of the middle child was the complete opposite of me... (except for the fantasizing part). Hmm let's see, for the youngest child huh? Seems like they get the most attention in the family, while I'm just left in the corner even if I beat them with grades... Are middle children always left alone?
Mystique Melody it’s not always like that I’m the last born and my parents constantly tell me that I need to be like my amazing brother they tell me to be as smart as him (even tho I get higher grades) and as social as him and all those other stuff
I'm the middle-born of 5. XD I do also tend to be caring. I'm not very sociable either. I do my best to follow the rules because it feels bad to get in trouble. Whenever I do something and get in trouble it sticks with me for a long time. Something I did in 4th grade still sticks with me in 7th grade.
Rebecca RAM I'm a last child who is known as a liar, who breaks rules, stays away from people and when being a jerk. I think I am pretty much the opposite.
Okay so... Oldest are more smart, over achieving,smart, gets there point across all the time Middle doomed, depressed, rude, and fail in life (just so u no imma middle child) Youngest get what they want, charming, better, listened to
I am a second child by birth, maltreated and beaten by parents, graduated valedictorian, ran for magna cum laude, very religious very conscientious, supported my siblings to finish school both financial and moral, and now this video is telling me otherwise ☹
Ok, i have not watched the video yet so don't flame me if I'm completely off. I am a first-born and honestly I really like taking charge, and i think that's because first-borns are more independent and a take charge person because when another sibling is born, the parents give more attention to the baby than you. Also, there's a likely chance that the older sibling had to take care of the younger sibling at some point, giving the older sibling a sense of domination. Last-borns, i think, are more used to following directions and going with the flow, since their older sibling has probably told them what to do many times. i think middle children can see the world more clearly and honestly than others because they have both a sense of dominance and listening. I think middle children are the best kind of people when they grow up because they're very down to earth. pls dont flame i haven't watched the video yet this was just on my mind when i saw this topic
I agree with you, for me i was in some part of my life the youngest in the family, then for 2-3 years i was the middle child, and after that the oldest which i felt around my 15-16 year of life, so somehow i went thru all stages and i think i'm carrying some of the traits from all of them.
“First born children have better leadership skills” I’m a first born, but if me and my younger brother looked the same age, everyone would think he’s older. ;-;
Porter Carr why? It like I was born with a best friend for life. It might sound bad sharing a birthday but we just have different party's. And we are fraternal twins so it's not like a parents ever made us dress the same
First born: Oh its ok, it was a one time thing. Middle born: We'll see you as this negative thing, and that negative thing cause you did it once. Last born: Same as first born
Im middle child, half the time people dont give a FUCK about me so I tend to daydream and think of unrealistic things or ideas of what to draw or do. Anyone else second child? also is it just me or the middle kid is always the most forgotten
Nyla Draws I'm a middle child too. I actually know some good sides! We are more down to earth, not in constant need of attention, more creative, not bossy, etc! I don't understand why nobody likes us....
Last born, I think it's a load of rubbish, correlation does not mean causation unless proven. And my family is very different, the middle child is actually super religious.
Lloyd Nix Then are you saying to us that your exception defines the majority pattern that occurs? Then, will you tell me, because Stephen Hawking exists, that most people can't walk and have 150 IQ, and that the statistics that say most people can walk, speak, and have 100 IQ are rubbish? I assume, if you even do respond, it'll unfortunately be real rubbish. Please prove me wrong. exagto knotmiiu an neck
I'm my dad's oldest child and my mum's middle (of 5). we haven't all be raised together like a normal sibling group and I don't think I really fit into any of these...
I can relate. I am my moms 2nd child, my dads first, but i live with my mom as an only child. Me and my sibling weren’t raised together. My mom had my sister at a young age, meaning she had to give her up for adoption
Psych2Go Always getting new clothes and not wearing hand-me-downs. You get your own room. You don't have to share your stuff. You get ALL of your parents' attention. I was also the only Grandchild on my Mom's side for 9 years, and that was the sweetest ride of all!!!!!!! 😃😃😃
First sibling: Gets complimented and be prideful. Middle child(me): Gets compared to two siblings and gets insulted ( •-• ) Youngest sibling: Gets complimented and gets to be the trusted one. (secretly blames me for something I didn't do) Only Child: Gets all the happiness but can be either independent or dependent on how they grow. So does that mean that middle children are born to be having less attention? 🤔 Then that explains why my life sucks.
It must be a cultural thing because the oldest children are the scapegoats blamed for everything in many families. I´m firstborn child and I´m the opposite of what was in the video.
Lol, the first born child in my family is my brother. He is really autistic, he can't even speak, and he is 16. I still love him, with all my heart! I am the third child btw, and my sister is the second. If you did read this. May you speak life, ( joy, complement each other,love one another, and forgive one another.) and please remember, you are a priceless artifact. Sorry for the rant! love typing hehe!
I'm a middle child and I'm the most spiritual of my older and younger brothers. (Me and my other middle brother are more spiritual) and we are both definitely very creative and imaginative ☺️
Uhh, when was the Chinese study on only children done? And who funded it? Because, you know it could have been more of a propaganda tool. But also, even if it wasn't, if they only surveyed Chinese families, then the data would be skewed. So either way there's got to be a better study on the effects of being an only child.
I'm a first born and I do have good marks and I'm not very sociable, but I don't know if I'm a good leader. I think I'm more of a big sister, who looks after the others, that everyone is ok and everyone follows the rules, especially at school, because I'm at least a year older than almost everyone.
Sarana 99 For the leadership one I'm not much of a leader unless it's like a school project that I know what to do on and working with people that I am comfortable talking freely with.
Group projects at school work better with friends for me (a.k.a. people I'm comfortable with), too and I try to lead the project in the "right" direction and split the work among us equally. If I don't know the persons, I barely say a word.
The disclaimer is exactly what makes this channel my favorite in psychology, being honest with the nature of the results and the sources is exactly the way that media should be
I'm the 5th child out of 7 children. but sometimes I do wish I was the only child, it must be awesome to get all that attention! Lol now I sound greedy
Spin Boost Be glad you have siblings, while I at least get love from my mother and father it is crushingly lonely. If you want to live like an only child be ready to entertain yourself. I like your profile picture by the way.
Turn The Switch OFF aw thanks hehe. Maybe you can make your friends sort of like siblings so you don't feel too lonely, if you are allowed to invite them over often that is :)
MelMelLovesRandomness You know what sucks about having a sibling though? When you expected to be an only child and already taught yourself how to be independent, and entertain yourself without other kids. Then when your sibling is born, your age gap is too wide for you to understand each other. You end up pushing away your sibling, because you are used to being independent. You get angry, because you are not used to having someone follow you around and talk non stop. Or at least that's my case. I love my little sister but man.
Very interesting, and almost precisely accurate. I do find that older siblings tend to base their choices on logic, rather than younger siblings who base their choices on emotion; which would then lead to many other defining personality traits. I am the eldest sibling and have a younger sibling, and this describes our personalities (though general) rather well.
My brother is on the middle , for some reasons im really proud and encourage him drawing and sculpting while others well they say good things but a little encouragement . I will hear my mom says like " Youre drawing again " or " Youre sculpting again thats what you do every day" . Mostly my brother will show me first his masterpieaces before to others .
I'm a middle born child. I was always in my older and younger siblings shadow. The oldest was a trouble maker and needed constant supervision. The youngest was always babied and given everything thing.what sucks is the oldest is the most loved by my grandparents. The youngest gets a lot of love from everyone because he's the only boy and then there's me. I struggled for their attention until I finally gave up. I wished I was noticed more.....
Being an only child can be great, cause you dont have someone to constantly be in your way or annoy you at home (no siblings). The downside is that you dont really learn any social skills or at least have less. It can also make your parents more anxious, and if they were caucious before, they will become the worst Helikopter parent duo you could ever think of. I grew up having my parents do everything for me and being given stuff all the time, but i never learned how to do things on my own and became an anxious mess. Now that im an adult they suddenly switched to "you have to do it all alone" and left me in the dark. Youre totally dependent on your parents all the time and there is no one to be there for you or take your side in a fight because your parents have to stick together against the horrible person they created. Im happy I didnt have to deal with siblings, but know that as an only child youll be on youre one, once youre an adult and when you fight with your parents and youll have a much harder time dealing with the harsh world out there.
i'm the first born and got the worst grades and the middle child for higher and then the youngest got the highest and i think that's more like realistic because our parents learnt how to help us through each child and because i was first they would have known the least.
almost same thing for Only Child, everyone said Only Child get better grade but guess what I get it very badly and also Only child has more responsiblity than First Born
Im the first born and i get the best grades because my siblings were the main focus all the time making it seem like i had to do way better in order to gain attention (which i dont get) from my parents which actually leaves me worse off than before because now when i happen to get bad grades its way more noticeable, but your point also makes sense
Two firstborn in my fam: Not much of leaders, but still outroverted Middleborn: Achieved way too much, way too self-aware Me and my sister, lastborn: Yelled at more than the other siblings, rebellious, introverted, depressed,
I'm first born of 3 kids. I'd say I am less outgoing than the other 2, I am not the smartest mathematically, that's my brother (middle) My brother is the one exceeding in most things while me and my little sister are behind, she is outgoing but lazy, very spoiled.
I have 5 younger siblings. I am MD also went through OCS. Lived in US, Poland and Sweden. Second sibling has a master in economics and run companies, third had college degree and is low level chief in the county. Sibling 4 and 5 finished high school efter struggeling 1-2 years extra, 4 work as a chef, and five work part time with lowest paying job and live with än unemployed man since 7 years. Education and income goes perfecly from top to bottom for us.
I saw relation to all of them except the last one because my sister (aka the last child) doesn't listen to rules or is very trustworthy because she lies all the time. I'm the oldest and I saw so much truth In that my brother the middle child literally equals that exact explanation
Fractal Universe I actually think that the middle child is mostly inaccurate because it was just down sides of being a middle child. (This is just my opinion sorry if you don't agree!! If I made any typos please correct me.)
I'm the 2nd child basically last born but I am more intelligent than my older sister and I don't really like to socialize with others and I trust no one except my older sister idk why but we act the same and say the same things most of the time and we somehow don't fight I don't know how and why usually siblings fight but we think it's a blessing it has been around 16 years since we have last fought don’t remember that much of it but half of this is accurate and I love how this channel makes psychology more easier to understand
I'm a middle child and I get so ignored. I only have three siblings but one is 13 years older and lives at home, and the other is a year younger and plays sports so all the money is spent keeping my older sis out of trouble and my younger sis playing softball. I'm just here like,"okay. Guess I don't matter. I'll go upstairs now."
im last born i suffer and i havent been happy for years im hated in my family but im useful for doing things for them basically im their slave, i dont get to be alone, whenever i am alone in my room to finally do what i want someone wants me to do things for them
huh! i'm the third child in a family with 4 kids. some people consider this the middle child and in certain ways i am, while my mom says i'm the 2nd first born, and in more ways i am. interesting.
I've found with a lot of my friend's families that the closer a child is to being the oldest, the less sociable they are. I'm the oldest and have one friend who is the middle child (I'll call her Leia), one who is an only child( let's say she's Allyah), another who is the youngest (Corinne) and me as the oldest. We all vary in how much input we provide to the group discussions, the youngest child is most likely to contribute her ideas and keep the conversation going. Corrine has a habit of keeping the conversation going by offering a new point of discussion when we've finished with the previous one. Allyah offers her points when she has them and otherwise keeps her mouth shut, listening to what is commonly the other two talk. Leia doesn't share all of her points but still contributes a fair amount. I contribute and join in the least, preferring to stay back and let them discuss unless we come across a topic I am passionate about (astronomy or philosophy for example) which results in feverish discussion and light hearted arguments after. We really conform to the social generalisations set out for our place in the "sibling spectrum"
This was so relatable! I am the oldest child in my family. I have a little brother. I realize that I am a better leader and better at verbal skills than my brother. And I know plenty of only children, and they do seem more pampered than others. I also know a kid who's the oldest of 6, and he does seem more intelligent and more of a leader than his siblings.
No mention of ONLY 1 child ? Does that make them the first and last child ? NOPE ! How could you leave this out completely ? I would say first born is most equal to only child, being one myself and knowing others. And how does this compare to single vs 2 parents ?
NOPE ! I did and they only said the only child has "higher life satisfaction" ! No mention of how an only child is different leadership or intelligence, religion, social abilities, social skills that was mentioned for the 1st born , 2nd , ETC How does "higher life satisfaction" explain these things ? I did watch it, but it doesn't say ! And how does "higher life satisfaction" apply to any of the mentioned things like that was mentioned for the other things ? It doesn't ! Perhaps you should rewatch yourself at 3:08. Higher life satisfaction ? That is a category not even MENTIONED for the other children ! This was a poor study ! They should list each characteristic for ALL TYPES, not different categories for each type. Like 2nd born were less religious than 1st or last born. Only child NOT INCLUDED Leadership abilities, only child NOT INCLUDED. Social skills, NOT INCLUDED. You get the point. Listen more closely next time you accuse someone else. I make plenty of mistakes but if someone is wrong I don't say someone is an idiot. And I miss things frequently too. Perhaps your label is better left to yourself. Or are you a middle child with poor self control ? Another thing not mentioned for only children !
No, they say the only child has "higher life satisfaction". Am I the only one that noticed this ? Maybe because I am one probably pay more attention to it. But they spent almost no time on only children. See my other comment for SEVERAL other things not compared and I didn't even list them all. And they didn't even mention life satisfaction for the other children, just a general "higher". So being 1st middle, or last is exactly the same in being lower ? Did they ever think that the 1st child is and ONLY CHILD for a period of time ? Therefore probably shares many things with an only child ? No mention of that either ! At least you didn't name call if you think someone made a mistake. I don't know how common only children are, I will have to find it. 10 - 23% according to Yahoo Answers, I've no idea if that is right for my lengthy 3 minute investigation... I wish they would have did a better job since this is interesting. And too many psychologists proclaiming completely BS things, like the "women carry purses because they are envious of mens scrotum". They called it "scrotum envy" I think. And damn, I couldn't find a link to that story either ! Or that anything remotely shaped like a penis, is made larger because of having a small one, like building a rocket, tall building, ETC So much BS in psychology ! But at least some of it is interesting. And why did 2 people point out I didn't watch it when it doesn't compare the same things ? Peer pressure perhaps ? Hmmmmmmm. Lay down on the couch and tell me about your childhood....... p.s. But remember the "study" wasn't much of one, or the person telling the video didn't want to get into any details. How many kids studied ? The actual STATISTICS ? Double - Blind study ? ETC This reminds me of a guy that faked being crazy to get out of a murder charge mentioned on Ted Talks. Everything he did was made to look like a disorder ! He didn't want to spend time with other people their, he is CLEARLY anti-social. It didn't matter that he didn't want to be around a murderer or pedophile ! Check it out below for the name of the video. Strange answers to the psychopath test | Jon Ronson
James You make a very good point but in your original comment you stated that there was "no mention of the only 1 child" and that they "missed this out completely" so those points didn't get across in the first comment, but I definitely agree with you on the topics they picked (btw, I'm also an only child too :3)
My younger brother is smarter than me. Only because I taught him math and multiplication before the age of 7. I always made sure he was the top in his class, and I would reward him every time I saw him at school.
Me being the first child:Being yelled at always getting scolded have higher grades always being pressured and compared My younger sister:do whatever she wants without being yelled, scolded etc...
My family: First-Born: Responsible, hard working, bad grades Middle Child: Whiny, disobedient, total jerk, bad grades Last Child (Me): Self-aware, introvert, obedient, ok grades One thing that might affect this is that the oldest child has a different father than the middle brother and I, and my real father was a little abusive towards him. This could’ve resulted in him having to learn to be tough emotionally and physically. (My father and my mother divorced when I was young, so my brother doesn’t have to deal with my father anymore :) ) Also, my father puts tremendous amounts of pressure on to the middle kid to get good grades, something that never happened to the oldest. This probably affected both of their grades as they grew up. And for me, I get ok grades so that I don’t get yelled at by my dad. He overattacks on certain things because he only sees my middle brother and I every other weekend. One more competent is that my brother is very easy to influence, and he likes to spend time with my dad. This results in him having more anger issues, being a little more racist and sexist, and him resenting my mom more. However, I don’t like my dad that much, and I try not to take after him, so that makes me more self-aware, open minded, and forgiving.
What I got out of the vid: So......if you’re NOT a first borne.....you’re not as intelligent? I highly disagree with that. I understand the personality part being different but just saying that you basically won’t be smart because your not a first borne is a little offensive to me being a last born. I would definitely say that I’ve met some middle borne and last borne kids that are very intelligent/smart and have great leadership skills.
@@madamchloe2655 yes, I did hear the disclaimer. My comment here is my thoughts on what stood out to me the most. Yes I understand it’s a generalized video. But to me, it didn’t fully sound like it was generalized completely if that makes sense. My comment was pointing out my thoughts on this. Apologies I didn’t make that much much clearer beforehand.
@@ashlazdanovich8396 okay 👌. I get what you mean by it not being generalized completely. Also, you don't have to apologize. It was my misunderstanding😅
Any other first borns out there ?

Do you guys agree with the video in regards to yourselves :)
me and yes
MedicEne heyyy
The Middle born children got roasted bruh
Gee thanks.
Way to let that down gently...
Praise Love hahahahaha yep lol I’m middle kid and I’m the only one of my brother and sisters who have a degree, I’m very intelligent etc but I am into fantasy stuff etc but damn lol 😂
Felix Williams I know right
Thanks alot
So researchers hate middle children by leaving them out of most of the research. I see a trend. 😂
Right. When I saw that I was thinking sarcastically I am glad that my family forgetting about me goes all the way back to this research
As a first born and big sister of 4 siblings I say that what I see in this video is true
Because the first one gets nothing by nothing I mean like objects we let you choose first and we get the last thing because we don't care anymore the last one... I don't have to explain them it's because they are the last one but the middle one is correct they are more social then the first and last one which is good because they have more friends.
if you say "but the middle one must respect the first one and is responsible for what the last one does" is also true but not in this way.
They tell you to respect the first one because they are also responsible for what YOU AND the last child do. And you are responsible for the last one just because to learn respect, to learn what the first one is going through
*THAT'S THE TRUTH HERE*
I'm the middle child who has an older brother who is irresponsible but was given the benefit of the doubt and he kept making mistakes. Instead of fixing their mistakes on my older brother they took it out on me and over fix things on me.
Then they babied my Youngest sibling because she is the baby and saw only great potential.
@Snow Crystal Did you listen to same the same video or did you write this comment for another video.
😂😂😂😂
I'm a middle child, and I'm not like that, I always get to be blame at everything, even if you're not involve in a fight between the first and last born child.
sy jjessica
Same here
sy jjessica same sometimes
:l the feels... I hear it from them.
Me too, except my older sibling is 13 years older than me so I sort of have both middle and first born qualities. But strangely, none match.
I'm still blamed for everything though when it's my younger siblings fault. Guess I'm doomed for unhappiness.
I often get punished for no reason and i get punished the most cause my siblings complain about me almost everyday
Older: 1 insult
Middle: ALL INSULT
Younger: NO INSULT (probably because you did it off of the parents, and they dont see the whole truth)
Only: ....
ObsidianPotato what was the insult on the older one??
I'm the youngest I get bullied by all family members :')
Funny, i get the most insult while being the youngest
i am the youngest and i am getting much insult...
Only children get worshipped by those who have siblings. And no, we are not lonely, as we learn to be without other people for a longer period of time.
Something you forgot about middle children: Always gets In trouble for things that aren't their faults
*I relate to that on a spiritual level.* also, we are ignored a LOT :/
I’m older and I get blamed a lot too ;-;
yes everytime
Same
Well im oldest between me and my brother. So i get blamed A LOT, but i have some debate skill and i also have courage to confront justice to my parents, strangely my mom proud of my debating skill lmao
I'm always being compared to my older sister. My mother always says things like "Your sister ALWAYS got A's, while you only gets C's." or "Your sister draws better than you" (My profile picture is one of her drawings she made for me)
I could be happier if my mother didn't do this to me ALL THE TIME. I don't blame my sister, i love her by the way, and I understand that it's my mother's fault, since my sister didn't choose to be the first.
Sorry if I misspelled something, english is not my first language.
I'm sorry your mother acts like that :( I just want to let you know that even if other will compare you to your sister, you are your own person, not her. Do what you want to make yourself happy and no one else!
nobodys drawing skills should be compared to that masterpiece. no parents should even give a crap if you're not a good drawer..
My mother just isn't a good mother. At least my dad is great. I love him.
Your mom sounds like a bit of a jerk. I don't seem to see my parents doing that with my younger brother, but if they did I'd be sure to say something about it.
Kami Lee She doesn't sound like a bit of a jerk, she IS a jerk. My sister always defends me, but my mom always argues and when my side is wining she says "Ugh, Stop whining, I'm tired."
Geez, now I feel stupid. Middle children didn't get very much praise here, did they?
im last child and now im called dumb in this video when im allready deppressed about baing last kid
I'm first child and I'm supposed to live up to taking leadership and having the best grades, I hate it
Stone Henge
Everybody hates us, I guess
Well we can get away with a lot of things. Like when we are little steal candy that your parents said not to touch. Because of not much attention, but if you do it too often they will expect you.
I'm a middle child and all the things they said were true wowie
Something you should add to middle child: Gets caught in the middle (oops just made a bad joke) of events that they didnt cause in any way. The middle child also gets scholded at by their parents.
Everyone but the youngest gets scolded and everyone gets caught in the middle of an argument between the other two at some point thats just part of having siblings lol
I have very sensitive ears and want to cry when i get yelled at and my parents are good parents but they get mad when i don’t turn in two assignments and i have to be peacemaker when my little brother with autism and my teenage older get mad at each other. I am very quiet and loud at home sometimes but i am mainly quiet and keep to myself and i was once embarrassed about something happening and was talking to me and she yelled it out and i want to hide in my bed with a good texture blanket.
Both of my younger siblings blame everything on me, so normally I get scolded.
I am the eldest but this is the most relatable statement-
"gets scolded at by their parents"
*YOU FUCKING THINK?!*

I'm an only child and instead of being spoiled I've become self reliant. With no one to depend on you learn to do everything yourself. I wonder if I would be the same if I had a sister or brother.
Leonard Durecki That's the opposite for this one kid in my class that's an obnoxious fuck. He's 13 years old and doesn't know how to cook scrambled eggs. Or do anything for himself his mom just does everything. And if he forgets *his* homework he just blames it on her. I mostly just wanted to rant about that. Bye.
Yea it happens to me as well, i am an only child and I have learned to do everything myself. And I have grow to be very independent of my parents or anybody, I enjoy my time alone and can perfectly be fine by myself. I also question if it would have been different with siblings...
I'm quite spoiled as an only child but I am similar to you as I try to be independent.
I was an only child and my parents cared more about themselves than me.
Only children also can be the subject for parents to be more controlling if one is unlucky to be born to an abusive family. It's even worse because you don't have siblings to rely on.
As the middle child of three siblings, I've become the scapegoat for everyone. Trust me, siblings aren't as great as they're cracked up to be. Being an only child would be nice, and I would be happier.
Me: huh I wonder what this video says about middle children? I bet it'll match me perfectly!
Video: * absolutely roasts middle children*
Me: MIDDLE CHILDREN DON'T GET JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD!
I know it is awful being middle child
@I love Angelique not really for me its the opposite im not that close to the firstborn ;-;
@I love Angelique I'm a last born and I get snitched on by the oldest
Disagree, the middle child in my fam is the fave lmao
same as youngest children
Just curious, but how many of you are the only child? How's life for you?
Psych2Go i'm an only child and life is going pretty well
I am the only child! I love it!
only child, abused by mother and neglected by father soooo going pretty well i guess?
Psych2Go Being an only child has its pros and cons. Pros include me getting all my parents affection and attention + resources. And cons include loneliness (which I experience often).
is good
does not describe my family,maybe we're an exception.
Yes, so birth orders don't capture all family dynamics. Did you want to share a bit about yours?
Feels as well bad to say this,but the last one doesn't match my little brother either.He's not much of an altruistic person.He's very chaotic and seems cold...
the first one is pretty accurate though.Psych2Go
same here

So basically:
Oldest: Smart, leaders, overachievers
Middle: Dumb, followers, trouble makers
Youngest: Sociable, kind, snitches
Lanny this video wack, I’m last born and I’m antisocial, an asshole and I would never rat out my bros.
@@Anon-rt3fx True. I'm the first born/oldest but I'm never overachieving, being smart, or leading anyone. I'm just an idiot who gives up too easily.

"First born children are more agreeable than neurotic" I don't think so *points at myself*
I´m a firstborn child and I was a scapegoat in my family, so I´m like the opposite of what was said in the video. It must be cultural thing.
"According to their parents..."
😂😂😂😂
I am not about to trust any of those statements.
Same. Parents always pull such bullshit.
The girl talking in the video: we will explore the positive findings....
*waits to find out that the middle child (yes I'm one of them) has nothing positive at all
me: well isn't that just positive...😑😑
ikr
Stop roasting us middle born children, we don't appreciate it.
Seriously though, was there NOTHING positive you could have said?
Messy Trash I know right! I literally ONLY watched this video because nobody talks about the middle children, and at the beginning of the video she said that she would be talking about 'positive' qualities, but what the hell!
L Lawliet I got kind of mad at that because it is mostly downsides, and non of them matched me and my friend who is also a middle child.
L Lawliet thought so too
I think they were pretty neutral
I don't get why everybody hates us!
And there is NOTHING positive about middle children?

@@ArnethProductions yh
Only child. I lived a rather spoiled which is somewhat rewarding, but not great in the long run, and sheltered, which was frustrating.
Kevin Goeltz i could relate
I thought I was the only one.
Kevin Goeltz tbh thats relatable
You're lucky...
Besides being spoiled materially, my experience was mostly negative.
As the only one, I developed anxiety because I had unattainable expectations placed on me to succeed, I was treated as a pet more than a child because my parents didn’t have a frame of reference for parenting children, my parents were extremely protective of me so they wouldn’t let me hang out with just anyone, leading to me becoming socially stunted and unable to make friends or even behave normally in social situations.
Sure us only kids get “spoiled” (I put spoiled in quotations because... like how are we not? We’re the only kid they’ve got), but rarely do we come out as well as children with siblings.
It’s no fun being “spoiled” when you’re in a room full of toys and no one to play with. The envy needs to stop. There’s nothing to envy.
I am the first born. I am the one suffering from depression whose parents love her younger brother more and I always feel unwanted.
I do wonder if it will be different when it comes to only 2 siblings
Oops, sorry, I forgot to ask,
It only you and one other sibling right?
@@bearbear9536 I have only one sibling. It means that we are two.

@@bearbear9536 Thank you so much. 😭
Actually first born who have more than 2 or 3 siblings are people who are serious when it come to things.They are caring and basically they shoo off other younger ones if they do things wrong in wrong way.They are more matured or become matured compared to their peers due to the responsibilities and there experiences.They are more patient too.
We have the same name, :p *spuds*
Even as an adult, you still keep those qualities and values.
*looks at her older sister* I wish that was true in my situation too.
I think that's true, for I am first born, but I am not patient.

Birth order is so inaccurate
I'm last born and I use fancy words( I say this everyday at my job) we have to organize the books sequentially so it will be easier for the consumer to find it.
I'm a first born child and I don't think it is true either I am terrible at math and science, I am always nervous, and when I was younger I took speech classes because I couldn't speak very well. The middle child is true to the 3rd older child in my family. The 2nd older sibling is always compared to me because he doesn't try at all. The youngest sibling doesn't listen to anyone in my family, is super rude and mean doesn't exactly try and gets mad easily.
I thought longer about this and my thesis is that many of these things are because of how your parents treated you. Many who were last born, probably weren't treated like one, but often you can find similar tendencies in families and this is on what this is based on.
I'm middle child and the description of the middle child was the complete opposite of me... (except for the fantasizing part). Hmm let's see, for the youngest child huh? Seems like they get the most attention in the family, while I'm just left in the corner even if I beat them with grades... Are middle children always left alone?
Yes they are..
Mystique Melody it’s not always like that I’m the last born and my parents constantly tell me that I need to be like my amazing brother they tell me to be as smart as him (even tho I get higher grades) and as social as him and all those other stuff
*inhales *YES*
Yes, yes we arw
oOF that's me (I'm the younger twin and have a little bro so i guess it counts)
I am a middle child and I do not fit the description stated in the video, for the record. I am sure I’m not alone.
I'm the last born of five. Some of it fits me. I tend to be pretty caring, but I'm not very sociable. I'm pretty rebellious.
I'm the middle-born of 5. XD
I do also tend to be caring. I'm not very sociable either. I do my best to follow the rules because it feels bad to get in trouble. Whenever I do something and get in trouble it sticks with me for a long time. Something I did in 4th grade still sticks with me in 7th grade.
me too, this video doesn't apply to everyone.
Vatra I'm not very sociable too..and I'm the last child
Vatra I'm lastborn and im rebellious, I think she got it wrong first born are obedient.
Mecky Oof we last born are known to break rules.
Ha ha that's funny..my brother, smarter than me..good joke.
I’m a middle child and this literally couldn’t be more far off😂I’m the one who makes the good grades😂
Same tho
Yh me too
Same with my sister
Same here...never go any praise for it either...oh well...♡
Samee
I'm a last child and im nothing like that lol
this video nowhere says that you must be like that...
missquprison I know but it i was surprise how the last child in this video is a polar opposite of me but it might be due to the fact im a twin
Rebecca RAM I'm also the last child and this vid is pretty accurate for me 😂
+Rebecca RAM I'm way too evil too LOL
Rebecca RAM I'm a last child who is known as a liar, who breaks rules, stays away from people and when being a jerk.
I think I am pretty much the opposite.
3:25 So being spoiled makes you happy?? Reallly?? Never would have guessed.
Okay so...
Oldest are more smart, over achieving,smart, gets there point across all the time
Middle doomed, depressed, rude, and fail in life (just so u no imma middle child)
Youngest get what they want, charming, better, listened to
Thats true for our family, im the middle-born and im always left out and beaten up.
Hah I wished people gave a damn about what I say
I usually like Psych-2-go's videos, but this one was just full of bullshit, imo.
I am a second child by birth, maltreated and beaten by parents, graduated valedictorian, ran for magna cum laude, very religious very conscientious, supported my siblings to finish school both financial and moral, and now this video is telling me otherwise ☹
So I'm depressed... that's about it. This was so wrong, middle child here.
lies my little brother (i have 3 siblings) is rude and lies all the time and has anger issues
Hayle Harris, it was a generalization. That does not mean they will be 100% accurate all the time. But it means *most* families are like this
Ok, i have not watched the video yet so don't flame me if I'm completely off.
I am a first-born and honestly I really like taking charge, and i think that's because first-borns are more independent and a take charge person because when another sibling is born, the parents give more attention to the baby than you. Also, there's a likely chance that the older sibling had to take care of the younger sibling at some point, giving the older sibling a sense of domination.
Last-borns, i think, are more used to following directions and going with the flow, since their older sibling has probably told them what to do many times.
i think middle children can see the world more clearly and honestly than others because they have both a sense of dominance and listening. I think middle children are the best kind of people when they grow up because they're very down to earth.
pls dont flame i haven't watched the video yet this was just on my mind when i saw this topic
I agree with you, for me i was in some part of my life the youngest in the family, then for 2-3 years i was the middle child, and after that the oldest which i felt around my 15-16 year of life, so somehow i went thru all stages and i think i'm carrying some of the traits from all of them.
How interesting
agree
Phoebe Wooster That was so smart to write before the video could give you a bias, gaah I wish I thought of that! 😣
middle born here ✋✋ well said
“First born children have better leadership skills”
I’m a first born, but if me and my younger brother looked the same age, everyone would think he’s older.
;-;
Me too my 1-year younger sis looks older than me ;
I feel ya, my younger brother is taller than me ;w;
I'm the first of my mother and father together, 2nd child of my mothers, and 3rd child of my fathers. Does that make me all three?

Most of the stuff shown in the video don't apply to me. I do tend to day dream and I am not very religious but my siblings aren't either.

And my family is very different, the middle child is actually super religious.

being an only child is The Dream
What do you see as the perks?
Psych2Go Always getting new clothes and not wearing hand-me-downs. You get your own room. You don't have to share your stuff. You get ALL of your parents' attention. I was also the only Grandchild on my Mom's side for 9 years, and that was the sweetest ride of all!!!!!!! 😃😃😃
not having siblings
Having a sibling is 'The Dream'
-an only child
It's not that great. It gets lonely and not all only children get loads of attention and money and stuff (unfortunately) :P
First sibling: Gets complimented and be prideful.
Middle child(me): Gets compared to two siblings and gets insulted ( •-• )
Youngest sibling: Gets complimented and gets to be the trusted one. (secretly blames me for something I didn't do)
Only Child: Gets all the happiness but can be either independent or dependent on how they grow.
So does that mean that middle children are born to be having less attention? 🤔 Then that explains why my life sucks.
It must be a cultural thing because the oldest children are the scapegoats blamed for everything in many families. I´m firstborn child and I´m the opposite of what was in the video.
I can relate.

I am the third child btw, and my sister is the second. If you did read this. May you speak life, ( joy, complement each other,love one another, and forgive one another.) and please remember, you are a priceless artifact. Sorry for the rant! love typing hehe!

Uhh, when was the Chinese study on only children done? And who funded it? Because, you know it could have been more of a propaganda tool. But also, even if it wasn't, if they only surveyed Chinese families, then the data would be skewed. So either way there's got to be a better study on the effects of being an only child.
I'm a first born and I do have good marks and I'm not very sociable, but I don't know if I'm a good leader. I think I'm more of a big sister, who looks after the others, that everyone is ok and everyone follows the rules, especially at school, because I'm at least a year older than almost everyone.
Sarana 99 For the leadership one I'm not much of a leader unless it's like a school project that I know what to do on and working with people that I am comfortable talking freely with.
Group projects at school work better with friends for me (a.k.a. people I'm comfortable with), too and I try to lead the project in the "right" direction and split the work among us equally. If I don't know the persons, I barely say a word.

Spin Boost Be glad you have siblings, while I at least get love from my mother and father it is crushingly lonely. If you want to live like an only child be ready to entertain yourself. I like your profile picture by the way.
Turn The Switch OFF aw thanks hehe. Maybe you can make your friends sort of like siblings so you don't feel too lonely, if you are allowed to invite them over often that is :)
Spin Boost Thanks, and I do have someone like that and I'm glad that I do. I hope you have a great rest of the day!
It's not paradise on the other end of the spectrum bud. I've always wanted sibling, and people should appreciate the family they have.
MelMelLovesRandomness You know what sucks about having a sibling though? When you expected to be an only child and already taught yourself how to be independent, and entertain yourself without other kids. Then when your sibling is born, your age gap is too wide for you to understand each other. You end up pushing away your sibling, because you are used to being independent. You get angry, because you are not used to having someone follow you around and talk non stop. Or at least that's my case. I love my little sister but man.

YESSS
Very interesting, and almost precisely accurate. I do find that older siblings tend to base their choices on logic, rather than younger siblings who base their choices on emotion; which would then lead to many other defining personality traits. I am the eldest sibling and have a younger sibling, and this describes our personalities (though general) rather well.
My brother is on the middle , for some reasons im really proud and encourage him drawing and sculpting while others well they say good things but a little encouragement . I will hear my mom says like " Youre drawing again " or " Youre sculpting again thats what you do every day" .
Mostly my brother will show me first his masterpieaces before to others .

I'm a middle born child. I was always in my older and younger siblings shadow. The oldest was a trouble maker and needed constant supervision. The youngest was always babied and given everything thing.what sucks is the oldest is the most loved by my grandparents. The youngest gets a lot of love from everyone because he's the only boy and then there's me. I struggled for their attention until I finally gave up. I wished I was noticed more.....
Oh. How nice. Me, the 2nd child out of 4, am doomed for sadness and being a dissapointment.
yeah no this is not right at all with my family lmao

Being an only child can be great, cause you dont have someone to constantly be in your way or annoy you at home (no siblings). The downside is that you dont really learn any social skills or at least have less. It can also make your parents more anxious, and if they were caucious before, they will become the worst Helikopter parent duo you could ever think of. I grew up having my parents do everything for me and being given stuff all the time, but i never learned how to do things on my own and became an anxious mess. Now that im an adult they suddenly switched to "you have to do it all alone" and left me in the dark. Youre totally dependent on your parents all the time and there is no one to be there for you or take your side in a fight because your parents have to stick together against the horrible person they created. Im happy I didnt have to deal with siblings, but know that as an only child youll be on youre one, once youre an adult and when you fight with your parents and youll have a much harder time dealing with the harsh world out there.
i'm the first born and got the worst grades and the middle child for higher and then the youngest got the highest and i think that's more like realistic because our parents learnt how to help us through each child and because i was first they would have known the least.
almost same thing for Only Child,
everyone said Only Child get better grade but guess what I get it very badly and also Only child has more responsiblity than First Born
Fairy Liquid pretty much describes my family
Only child literally has no responsibilities you freaking idiot.
Im the first born and i get the best grades because my siblings were the main focus all the time making it seem like i had to do way better in order to gain attention (which i dont get) from my parents which actually leaves me worse off than before because now when i happen to get bad grades its way more noticeable, but your point also makes sense
my brother who is last born is the complete opposite of what was described

I have 5 younger siblings. I am MD also went through OCS. Lived in US, Poland and Sweden. Second sibling has a master in economics and run companies, third had college degree and is low level chief in the county. Sibling 4 and 5 finished high school efter struggeling 1-2 years extra, 4 work as a chef, and five work part time with lowest paying job and live with än unemployed man since 7 years.
Education and income goes perfecly from top to bottom for us.
I saw relation to all of them except the last one because my sister (aka the last child) doesn't listen to rules or is very trustworthy because she lies all the time.
I'm the oldest and I saw so much truth In that my brother the middle child literally equals that exact explanation
Last children didn't get as much as the first two, how cliche! Described my siblings pretty well but not the last borns at all.
in my family the last born (my little sister) gets way more because I'm older and I'm supposed to be more responsible than her but I'm not
Fractal Universe I actually think that the middle child is mostly inaccurate because it was just down sides of being a middle child. (This is just my opinion sorry if you don't agree!! If I made any typos please correct me.)
I'm the 2nd child basically last born but I am more intelligent than my older sister and I don't really like to socialize with others and I trust no one except my older sister idk why but we act the same and say the same things most of the time and we somehow don't fight I don't know how and why usually siblings fight but we think it's a blessing it has been around 16 years since we have last fought don’t remember that much of it but half of this is accurate and I love how this channel makes psychology more easier to understand
The oldest is my brother and iam the youngest but we are always close but i like my middle sister more and my other middle brother we fight a lot!!
When you're an sad and lonely only child ;-;
Edgelord McEvanescence At The Disco lucky! I got 5 siblings and I wish I was the only child! And sis and bro don't read this 😂 😂😂
When you’re a child with two idiot older brothers and two stepsisters.
I'm a middle child and I get so ignored. I only have three siblings but one is 13 years older and lives at home, and the other is a year younger and plays sports so all the money is spent keeping my older sis out of trouble and my younger sis playing softball. I'm just here like,"okay. Guess I don't matter. I'll go upstairs now."
Reynn Amalie OMG THE ONLY CHILD IS THE BEST PLACE YOU CAN BE IN
im last born
i suffer and i havent been happy for years
im hated in my family but im useful for doing things for them
basically im their slave, i dont get to be alone, whenever i am alone in my room to finally do what i want someone wants me to do things for them
huh! i'm the third child in a family with 4 kids. some people consider this the middle child and in certain ways i am, while my mom says i'm the 2nd first born, and in more ways i am. interesting.
I'm introverted and don't talk a lot my sister is my exact opposite 😂
I've found with a lot of my friend's families that the closer a child is to being the oldest, the less sociable they are. I'm the oldest and have one friend who is the middle child (I'll call her Leia), one who is an only child( let's say she's Allyah), another who is the youngest (Corinne) and me as the oldest. We all vary in how much input we provide to the group discussions, the youngest child is most likely to contribute her ideas and keep the conversation going. Corrine has a habit of keeping the conversation going by offering a new point of discussion when we've finished with the previous one. Allyah offers her points when she has them and otherwise keeps her mouth shut, listening to what is commonly the other two talk. Leia doesn't share all of her points but still contributes a fair amount. I contribute and join in the least, preferring to stay back and let them discuss unless we come across a topic I am passionate about (astronomy or philosophy for example) which results in feverish discussion and light hearted arguments after. We really conform to the social generalisations set out for our place in the "sibling spectrum"
where My middle children at?
paige Me :(
. . .
I'm just an only child ._.
Good for you
This was so relatable! I am the oldest child in my family. I have a little brother. I realize that I am a better leader and better at verbal skills than my brother. And I know plenty of only children, and they do seem more pampered than others. I also know a kid who's the oldest of 6, and he does seem more intelligent and more of a leader than his siblings.
I feel like in the long run the middle child becomes the most successful, still unnoticed, but they also became the best liers.
No mention of ONLY 1 child ? Does that make them the first and last child ? NOPE !
How could you leave this out completely ?
I would say first born is most equal to only child, being one myself and knowing others.
And how does this compare to single vs 2 parents ?
James They talk about only children at the end
James are you an idiot? watch until the end before you comment. They talked about the only child
NOPE ! I did and they only said the only child has "higher life satisfaction" ! No mention of how an only child is different leadership or intelligence, religion, social abilities, social skills that was mentioned for the 1st born , 2nd , ETC
How does "higher life satisfaction" explain these things ?
I did watch it, but it doesn't say ! And how does "higher life satisfaction" apply to any of the mentioned things like that was mentioned for the other things ?
It doesn't !
Perhaps you should rewatch yourself at 3:08.
Higher life satisfaction ? That is a category not even MENTIONED for the other children !
This was a poor study !
They should list each characteristic for ALL TYPES, not different categories for each type.
Like 2nd born were less religious than 1st or last born. Only child NOT INCLUDED
Leadership abilities, only child NOT INCLUDED.
Social skills, NOT INCLUDED.
You get the point.
Listen more closely next time you accuse someone else. I make plenty of mistakes but if someone is wrong I don't say someone is an idiot. And I miss things frequently too.
Perhaps your label is better left to yourself.
Or are you a middle child with poor self control ?
Another thing not mentioned for only children !
No, they say the only child has "higher life satisfaction". Am I the only one that noticed this ? Maybe because I am one probably pay more attention to it. But they spent almost no time on only children. See my other comment for SEVERAL other things not compared and I didn't even list them all.
And they didn't even mention life satisfaction for the other children, just a general "higher".
So being 1st middle, or last is exactly the same in being lower ?
Did they ever think that the 1st child is and ONLY CHILD for a period of time ? Therefore probably shares many things with an only child ? No mention of that either !
At least you didn't name call if you think someone made a mistake.
I don't know how common only children are, I will have to find it. 10 - 23% according to Yahoo Answers, I've no idea if that is right for my lengthy 3 minute investigation...
I wish they would have did a better job since this is interesting.
And too many psychologists proclaiming completely BS things, like the "women carry purses because they are envious of mens scrotum".
They called it "scrotum envy" I think. And damn, I couldn't find a link to that story either !
Or that anything remotely shaped like a penis, is made larger because of having a small one, like building a rocket, tall building, ETC
So much BS in psychology !
But at least some of it is interesting.
And why did 2 people point out I didn't watch it when it doesn't compare the same things ?
Peer pressure perhaps ?
Hmmmmmmm.
Lay down on the couch and tell me about your childhood.......
p.s. But remember the "study" wasn't much of one, or the person telling the video didn't want to get into any details.
How many kids studied ?
The actual STATISTICS ?
Double - Blind study ?
ETC
This reminds me of a guy that faked being crazy to get out of a murder charge mentioned on Ted Talks. Everything he did was made to look like a disorder ! He didn't want to spend time with other people their, he is CLEARLY anti-social. It didn't matter that he didn't want to be around a murderer or pedophile !
Check it out below for the name of the video.

James You make a very good point but in your original comment you stated that there was "no mention of the only 1 child" and that they "missed this out completely" so those points didn't get across in the first comment, but I definitely agree with you on the topics they picked (btw, I'm also an only child too :3)
We all now that the older kid always get the most respect and the younger kid always gets the most attention and the middle child......Poor us ;(
as a middle child im always the one who clean up the mess my siblings did :')
thats sounds like an older child thing JEEZ
What about if you have half siblings because my siblings came in and out of my life?
Mr. Wild I am the same, I would identify myself as only child mainly, bcuz I don't see my siblings that much.
Mr. Wild I know what you mean. Just pick the one closest to you I guess.
This channel is lit af fam. I just been binge watching all this shit yuh
lol when your family has 4 kids XD
My younger brother is smarter than me. Only because I taught him math and multiplication before the age of 7. I always made sure he was the top in his class, and I would reward him every time I saw him at school.
Me being the first child:Being yelled at always getting scolded have higher grades always being pressured and compared
My younger sister:do whatever she wants without being yelled, scolded etc...
@@wolfykid7427 yeah when me and my sister have the same grade i am the one always grounded
@@wolfykid7427 same
0:41 Should've been in ALL Psych2Go's videos. So much generalization, predjudice and lack of diversity.
I'm an only child and I'm blessed to have my peaceful space ❤
My family:
First-Born: Responsible, hard working, bad grades
Middle Child: Whiny, disobedient, total jerk, bad grades
Last Child (Me): Self-aware, introvert, obedient, ok grades
One thing that might affect this is that the oldest child has a different father than the middle brother and I, and my real father was a little abusive towards him. This could’ve resulted in him having to learn to be tough emotionally and physically. (My father and my mother divorced when I was young, so my brother doesn’t have to deal with my father anymore :) )
Also, my father puts tremendous amounts of pressure on to the middle kid to get good grades, something that never happened to the oldest. This probably affected both of their grades as they grew up. And for me, I get ok grades so that I don’t get yelled at by my dad. He overattacks on certain things because he only sees my middle brother and I every other weekend.
One more competent is that my brother is very easy to influence, and he likes to spend time with my dad. This results in him having more anger issues, being a little more racist and sexist, and him resenting my mom more. However, I don’t like my dad that much, and I try not to take after him, so that makes me more self-aware, open minded, and forgiving.
What I got out of the vid:
So......if you’re NOT a first borne.....you’re not as intelligent?
I highly disagree with that.
I understand the personality part being different but just saying that you basically won’t be smart because your not a first borne is a little offensive to me being a last born.
I would definitely say that I’ve met some middle borne and last borne kids that are very intelligent/smart and have great leadership skills.
0:36 did you hear the disclaimer?
@@madamchloe2655 yes, I did hear the disclaimer.
My comment here is my thoughts on what stood out to me the most.
Yes I understand it’s a generalized video.
But to me, it didn’t fully sound like it was generalized completely if that makes sense.
My comment was pointing out my thoughts on this.
Apologies I didn’t make that much much clearer beforehand.
@@ashlazdanovich8396 okay 👌. I get what you mean by it not being generalized completely. Also, you don't have to apologize. It was my misunderstanding😅
@@madamchloe2655 no worries.
(^ ^)
That’s completely understandable 👍
you should've just written on screen, all stereotypes apply
