When you have multiple siblings, each of you plays a specific role and probably see the world differently because of it. The oldest child is usually the most confident, protective, and of course the leader of the pack. The middle child tends to be the peacemaker since they are typically close in age with both younger and older siblings and can relate to both.
We as the younger siblings tend to have more wisdom than those around us who don't have older siblings to teach them and help them along the way. This shapes us into the people that we become when we enter into the real world and we wouldn't have it any other way.
You can confidently say that everyone in the family took part in shaping the person that you are today.
You're probably a little more sensitive because you were the most spoiled.
You're also more willing to take risks since most younger children are able to get away with more than their older siblings.
If anyone ever threatens your wellbeing, you aren't scared because you know you have backup.
You have grown up to be a patient person because you've always had to wait your turn with everything such as toys, TV Shows, using the bathroom, etc.
You own many, many hand-me-downs.
You handle new obstacles easily because you got to observe your older siblings handle them first (first day of high school, first day of college, first dates, etc).
You're tough because while you're older siblings can often be your best friend, they can also be your biggest bully.
You've always been mature for your age because you had your older siblings to look up to.
You're always referred to as "so and so's brother or sister" but you became used to it very early on in life.
