Birth order influence

One of the things that can shape your personality at an early age is if you are the oldest sibling, the middle one, the youngest or an only child. Firstorns tend to be reliable, cautious, controlling, perfectionists and achivers. That's because they were born to a couple with no earlier experience that are raising them instinctively, by trying diffrent methods and often being strict and oversensitive. Those children were also in the center of attention and learning a lot from parents, which can make them smart and succesul. Later on they do more chores or watch over younger siblings, which puts a pressure on them with negative results of trying to be perfect. The middle child is often a people pleaser, peacemaker, thrives of friendship and is often left out due to having less attention than other siblings. Youngest of the siblings are mostly outgoing, free-spirited, fun-loving, but manipulative and attention-seekers. Those positive traits come from having more experienced parents and by probably not being the smartest, getting attention with their natural charm and social personality. The negative ones are results of being compared to older siblings. Being an only child comes with having all the attention and support of parents but having to meet their expectations. They are a great part like the oldest sibling, perfectionists, leaders and mature for their age. source : https://www.parents.com/baby/development/social/birth-order-and-personality/
