[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think about people’s birth order at all. I think this a very odd way to characterize your interactions with others. I don’t even know the birth order of most people unless they are typically close friends already — so I don’t have issues with them to start with.[/quote]

I see this point, but it's more like after 50 years of interacting with people I've realized that among the handful of people who have driven me up a wall at some point, several of them were the babies of their families and had very specific character traits. And it's interesting to me because this group includes a college roommate but also a woman I worked with recently (the one in her 30s) so it's like these traits are permanent personality traits.

I've also noticed that these are people likely to tell you about their family situation quickly. Like my coworker told me about being the baby in her big family within a few days of meeting her, as a way of describing herself.

It feels like this is a personality type. Not one I love, obviously.[/quote]
