there can be a few explanations of this middle child
syndrome.....
here's one of them
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.
Being a middle child would mean they are loners. They really dont
like to latch on to a person in a relationship, there fore they
have trouble keeping one due to lack of interest. 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. 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.
