Middle Child Syndrome

Posted by Eliz on 1:17 AM
Ok so i heard tons of story about middle child often seeking attention coz they are the one's that always been neglected. Im not really sure about this, but according to few friends of mine (they are middle child).. they admit that their character is different from other siblings and constantly seek for attention.

Their character usually strong coz they need to be independent. But i was thinking.. can it possibly be true? I google about this middle child sydrome and bump to few articles. And result .. walla! As below: 

The middle or second born child or children often have the sense of not belonging. They fight to receive attention from parents and others because they feel many times they are being ignored or dubbed off as being the same as another sibling. Being in the middle a child can feel insecure. The middle child often lacks drive and looks for direction from the first born child. 

Sometimes a middle child feels out of place because they are not over achievers and like to go with the flow of things. ( im not sure about this phrase coz they are some frenz that are middle child they have high position)

Being a middle child would mean they are loners. They really don’t like to latch on to a person in a relationship, there fore they have trouble keeping one due to lack of interest. ( mmmmm also not sure about this)

Not liking to take the limelight for anything, they are not over achievers and just simply work enough work to get by, and typically that goes with school as well as a career. ( mmm also not so agree with this coz my friends some are really scorer)

They are however very artistic and creative. If forced to use abilities they will work well, but do not work well under pressure. They often start several projects but rarely keep focused long enough to finish a project. 

The best career move for a middle child would be along the lines of using their creative. Going into a writing or journalism career, and into a career that they could freely express themselves would be good. 

Anything that would have hours that are flexible, and projects that frequently changed would be good for a middle born child. Since relationships are not of high importance to a middle child, often times they are alone. However, the best possible match for a middle child would be a last born.

Anyways i am the middle child and yes i do admit some are true but we cant just generalize and assuming that middle child character is typical isnt it?

Sebagai anak tengah ada benda yang disenaraikan dalam middle child syndrome tu betul dan ada yang tak.

Yang tak betul pada diri aku ialah: nak tarik perhatian, aku lagi suka mereka (la familia) tak heran kat aku. Kadang2 sebab tak duduk dalam spotlight orang duk fikir aku ni lambat evolve dan so terlepas soalan pasal bila nak kahwin and such. Mesti attention akan dibeban atas kakak aku dan segala cerita dia akan dikorek dulu berbanding aku.

Yang benar ialah pasal kena independent tu, bila ko ada kakak yang keje nak suruh itu dan ini dan adik yang suka bermanja aka automatik nak jadi lain dari yang lain. Pasal lacks drive and looks for direction from the first born child tu separa benar dan separa tak sebab, aku memang tak berapa ada fokus dalam apa aku buat selalunya, dan aku memang terpengaruh dgn kakak aku tapi selalu merebel pada dia.

Yang "The best career move for a middle child would be along the lines of using their creative. Going into a writing or journalism career, and into a career that they could freely" express themselves would be good. Hahah, tepat nih.

Tapi ini pula tidak tepat pun "relationship are not of high importance to a middle child, often times they are alone." Ok so aku agak lone ranger kengkadang tapi aku sangat treasure hubungan dgn orang yang aku suka, dan people who are friend material dan setelah ditelek aku tertarik untuk kawan dengan anak sulung selalunya.

wah wah, panjang pulak la komen ni. bagi ko keje extra sikit.
