While it may be comforting to find out that some of your less desirable characteristics were almost inevitable given your sex and birth order, it isn't helpful to blame your faults on that and give up trying to change. The point of knowing how those characteristics developed is to learn strategies for changing the ones you don't like.
Just because you were born as a youngest or oldest or an only, you do not have to keep on behaving like one; the traits are not written in stone.
Are you the "take charge" type? Or do you charm people into doing what you want? Do you need time alone? Or are you the life of the party? You are the way you are partly because of your position in the birth order of your family. Between each birth the family undergoes reshaping. Oldest children, youngests, middles, onlies, and twins develop distinctive personality traits because each experiences the family in a different way.
Birth Order and You explains how your birth order has affected your personality and your relationships. It includes things such as:
- What effect your sex and the sex of your siblings has on your characteristics - How understanding birth order can make you a better parent and partner - Why your parents treated you and your siblings in different ways - What you can do to help offset the negative side of your birth order
