The hardest part of being the eldest daughter is being your parents guinea pig and watching your younger sibling(s) do things when they’re younger than you were
My younger brother gets loads of money, branded clothes and extra curricular activities. Guess what I got at his age? Depression. Undiagnosed, unmedicated, totally ignored by my parents.
When I allow myself to be sad for no reason it feels like a hug I’m giving myself. It’s just a beautiful feeling to let the guard, the wall, the mask down. This is one of the reasons why I love living alone
As the older brother of five siblings, I had to be a role model for siblings when I was doing with my bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression. And everytime I struggled to live up to expectations it was hellfire dealing with toxic family members. Now I don’t give a fuck and gave myself the life I wanted for myself
My mam had 5 kids and did absolutely everything for us growing up she has always put her kids first in every way she could but as the eldest I just could not handle the pressure of being an example and a role model and when you’re having that pushed so hard some people push away, I fucked my whole life up running into the arms of slightly older guys and I started to rebel in any way I could, I don’t blame my mam for how I decided to lash out, but it’s something that if I have multiple children I want to be aware and cautious of balancing my kids needs and knowing they’re all individuals, I’m lucky and grateful things between my mam and I worked out and it’s something I know I have to re-parent myself and relearn
My god your timing is impeccable Christina! I’m the 18 year old eldest daughter with all the classic eldest daughter syndrome symptoms so hopefully 2025 will finally be my year!
I can relate to this a lot. I just think it's not so bad to have some responsibility. Sure it has negative effects on us as adults and Im dealing with it. But with a little power comes a little more responsibility towards your family. There are worse problems to have than "matured too soon" and "missed out during childhood."
First time commenter on this channel: as an eldest daughter myself, this video came out perfectly, thank you!!! I've been watching you for a while now and always related to your content LOL
Greta video! Can you make a video on academic stress and how it links to your feelings of self-worth? I could really use some guidance on overthinking and also dealing with academic guilt when I am not studying. Thank you!
Christina I watched this right to the end and such Brilliant insights and the fact you expressed gratitude is so Loving...❤ I just wanted you to know that x 😊
Hey Christina! I have a question for you, i have lots of friends and i have becomed social. I like being around my friends, but sometimes i feel pressured to laugh stuff that i dont find funny (i dont find funny many things lol) and idk, if i dont laugh, i feel like my friends are gonna ask me if im alr. Do you know how i could approach a funny comment without laughing? Thank you!!
Hey, I know the feeling on this one, it's draining to laugh on command, espcially when somethings not funny lol I tend to just smile a lil and/or nod my head, that way I'm not draining my social battery too much :) hope this helps

As an eldest brother, that's exactly how I felt.
Thank you very much for the video.
I really need it.
I'm so glad this helped :)
As an eldest child I would like to thank you for this ❤

This video made me realise that a lot of what I’m going through emotionally right now comes from being an eldest daughter

I'm sure it sure will 🎉

@@ChristinaAaliyah thank you so much for your response! Yes, this helps a lot :)
You can overcome it by being a grown adult and not whining about nonsense. Generation spineless at its finest 😂
Random question but what about oldest son. Seems more like an older sibling thing?
yeah definietly more of an eldest sibling thing
This but I’m the youngest brother…
