THE FIRSTBORN SYNDROME

Ever come across a person who is all bossy yet so calm, very good at leadership  yet sometimes very stubborn,always taking charge even when its not expected of them, yet fail to exactly be the center of attention, quite rigid in nature but yet very graceful,carrying themselves with a huge amount of self respect and confidence that it will take a major macho to bring them down, swift in action and very decisive in purpose, too responsible for their own good, overly hardworking, quite unromantic,very thoughtful, sometimes uneccessarily prudish  and very assertive? yeah,well that's exactly my definition of the first born syndrome.

Now i know some of you are getting quite defensive and arguing against some of the statements above as being wrong, but trust me a major percent of this is so true, and this is not based on some psychological abrakadabra, its what i have noticed overtime. If you disagree with me, let's know in the comment section.

See this conversation that ensued between two very weird ladies, lol, no one needs to tell you what their birth order is.

Read this!firstborns are a  strange bunch of awesomeness and ego. I was around some ladies who were friends, they stumbled on each other and this was how their conversation went.

Lol...i need not say more.

You know there was a time i told my friends i hated it whenever i greeted somebody and the person responded with "something something dear", chai i always thought it was condescending, especially when it was coming from your mates.

Had i known better, i would have figured it out that firstborns  started the trend, don't even try to disagree with me on this one.

Actually there are some "wannabe" firstborns, who have learnt the art of leadership and carriage from their older siblings and friends and have perfected it over time, however, sometimes learning works, sometimes it just never fits in.

Anyways this post is not to bring down or lambaste firstborns, rather is to appreciate them. To tell them we understand that whoever they are is as a result of an inherent nature they can't escape. we do not blame them for their excesses, we think they are superb, i personally think they are awesome, very clear headed and decisive if you ask me. So i dedicate this writeup to every firstborn out there still trying to adjust to their personality, trying to please the society and family yet remain true to who they are. I urge you to be more forgiving though,as many of you can be bullheaded(i apologise).

You guys are usually the pace setters in every home, you are born leaders that God himself has ordained, and no one will take that from you. So keep being you, let God mold you to be the best version of yourself. Be Real.

So to my readers, the next time your first born acts the way they do, just smile and say its the firstborn syndrome!

Tag every firstborn you know on this post and please share.

P.S: You can guess what my birth order is.
