I have one younger brother (by 2 & 1/2 yrs) & these descriptions are fairly close for each of us.

I don't believe is judging or forming assessments or whatever based on birth order....in fact it offends me....i am the youngest and therefore should be the 'baby' when in fact am the strongest, toughest, most independent of any of them...so this kind of thing really has and does piss me off....sorry scottish lass, but that is my feeling...

No need to apoligize for stating your feelings Portia. I just saw this while "surfing" & thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion.

you know i've had problems with you before being rude...i don't say rude things to people just to be rude and insult them and i would prefer it you didn't do that to me...just putting people down for no good reason may be your cup of tea...but don't do it to peoplewho don't do it to you or to others...

Now I know why you freaked when I called you 'shorty'. If you read just a little further and before actually, I gace you a great compliment. . You are supposed to have fun here. It's not you dropping ground. If anyone dislikes my words then whoops, nope.

I believe this particular theory is total BS and it can hurt and limit peoples' perceptions of others andeven of themselves.......i respect you SL and wouldn't just lash out and say i think your thread is BS....but this idea really burns me ...
