Frequently asked questions
3. You’re Optimistic
As the baby of the family, you’re probably an optimistic person. You believe that things will work out and don’t waste a lot of time worrying over them. Sure, life has it’s hard moments but you know things will eventually turn around. They always do. That belief is something to hold onto and treasure. Many people would love to have that outlook on life but don’t know how to achieve it.
4. You’re Open to New Ideas
You aren’t afraid to try new things as the baby of your family. In fact, you rather enjoy new adventures and experiences. This may mean that you often try new foods at restaurants or that you’re not intimidated by moving to a new city. You find new experiences exciting and exhilarating. You’re always up for making new memories out of new adventures.
5. You’re Used to Getting What You Want
You’ve probably heard this one and there’s some truth to it. Most people who’re the baby of the family are used to getting what they want. This isn’t always a bad thing. It can actually be a good thing if it motivates you to work toward getting what you want, as in reaching a goal. The trick here is in realizing that a lot of things aren’t going to come as easily as you may have hoped.
6. You’re Secure in Yourself
Insecurity isn’t a big issue for you. Most of the time, the baby of the family is very loved and cared for by everyone in their family. This helps your sense of security to be very strong. You probably don’t struggle with self-esteem issues as much as others with a different position in birth order. Although I believe that security in yourself can be a small issue for most women at some time or other in their life.
7. You Don’t Cross Boundaries
As the baby of the family, you’ve probably got a good handle on boundaries. You’re respectful of others. You’ve learned that lesson well as a child growing up with older siblings. You’re good at minding your own business unless someone comes to you for advice. This’s very admirable.
These’re 7 traits that’re common in someone that’s the baby of the family. Which ones are true of you? I’m excited to read your comments.
