I have been an only child (so to speak in household terms) since I was three years old. My brother and sister were 12 and 15 years older than I am, so when they moved out of the house for college, all of the attention shifted upon me, making me greedy for appraisal and compliments. I realize that this has effected my everyday life and I should mind my selfishness more often and to give the people that are around me what I would have instead chosen to give myself.
