the middle child sydrome has been a particularly hot topic among my colleagues and i these days. and guess what?! i am a middle child! and i agree that i am slightly aloof at times. went to google it just now and this is what i found....

"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 don’t 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."

all in bold are traits that i think i possess or show sometimes. the career thing is especially true, because i find that i tend to enjoy doing various projects with different content rather than do the same old things all the time. as for the loner bit, tt is quite true too. my colleagues were saying tt the middle child are pretty temperamental, coz sometimes they are very friendly, and other times they tend to be extremely anti-social. and yes...i go through that too. like sometimes i am friends with the world but other times i get irritated with everyone and i just keep to myself. :S

the reason i brought that up is because...i suddenly realised that the past few days i have bee extremely irritated with the whole world, and whenever i am sitting with a grp of ppl i am usually not paying attention to what the ppl are saying or i just don't know what to reply even though i'm paying attention. like all of a sudden, i'm a complete social retard.

one of the biggest things that pissed me off yesterday is how people don't answer their phones, OR...don't call back when they see a missed call! ok..sometimes i don't call ppl back either BUT if i get anything more than 2 missed calls from the same person, or 2 missed calls from the same grp of ppl or 2 missed calls and various msg...i think i get the idea that it's slightly important that i respond regardless of how important or unimportant the matter might be.

since i am on the topic of responding to people... i must also mention that i HATE it when people do not answer other's calls or sms, and the reason why they don't answer is because they are too busy having fun or because they are with their other half (or maybe they are not having fun, i don't care), and then when they have problems (especially when they have problems with their other half) they suddenly remember tt their friends exist and they call their friends at weird hours of the night and expect people to answer their calls and listen to them. wtf.

some people might say "that's what friends are for...to support each other through difficult times". ya sure...i will certainly support u through difficult times, ONLY IF you remember that we exist during your la-dee-da times. if not, just wait and see what kinda shitty attitude u're gonna get from me. and i don't think i am alone in thinking this way...i know of many who think like me too.

remember how last time i had a "currently listening to"? this time i must have a "mood"

mood: >_< downright pissed
