This is interesting! I'm the youngest and my closest friends are all the youngest as well (including a twin who is a few minutes younger than her twin brother).

Over the years though I've had close friends that were only children or the oldest.

I'm oldest with only oldest friends and an oldest spouse.

I am an only child, but with oldest child tendencies. My partner and most of my closest friends are also the oldest sibling.

Yes but my younger brother has CP and other cognitive disabilities so I was kind of a hyper oldest. I even moved in with him for a couple of years in my early twenties to be his caregiver. I think I became an odd combination of hyper responsible but also very young for a couple of years after as a result.

Birth order (I'm the oldest) and spread between myself and my brother definitely shaped my personality. Most of my friends are onlies and the ones that are not have had major roles of responsibility in their families from an early age. DH is also the oldest.
