You can always pick out the middle child from the other children in a family. They think, act, and may even look a bit different. Now, I'm not an expert, but through experience, and through the eyes of others, I have come to conclusion that a middle child is most likely to experience this:

• You are the quietest in the family, and therefore, can worm your way in and out of everything. 
• You hear EVERYTHING that happens in your household without anyone knowing how you got that information.
• You are close to both your younger and older sibling (s).
• You are the peacekeeper when your family seems to be going through a tough patch.
• Most of the time, you get the least attention. Your parents already went through the worry and joy with a first child, and the youngest is the one that is spoiled and coddled the most. Since both parents know they won't be having children anytime soon, they always feel this nostalgia, and make it so they give the youngest sibling the most attention. 
• The middle child just stands there thinking: "Uh, hello! I'm right here! What about me?"
• You'll be lucky if your parents throw you a bone, and show you some love and affection when something happens with one of your other siblings. 
• When you're younger you feel very left out, and have low self-esteem, but as you get older you see how awesome it is, and that self-esteem of yours skyrockets. Obviously you see that being a middle child has so many more advantages when you're older. 
• You are usually an easygoing type of person. Your older sibling has a Type A personality, you have a Type B personality, and the younger sibling (s) is a toss in the air (they could go either way).
• You are usually more flexible with your schedule, and are willing to go with unplanned events. 
• You always know that when times get rough, your siblings have your back. 
• You are the glue that holds the whole family together, and if were ever removed from the equation, they wouldn't know how to survive without you.
