I never ask for help but always provide it. I am definitely a people pleaser and go out of my way to help others, almost like it's my obligation. I also have a hard time setting boundaries and saying no, it’s something that I'm constantly working on.
The term 'eldest-daughter syndrome' embodies a blend of perfectionism, self-sacrifice, guilt, and sibling resentment due to the expectations placed on being both the oldest child and a girl.
A viral poem titled 'Oldest Daughter Guilt' encapsulated the struggle of many eldest daughters, questioning their happiness and identity when constantly focused on fixing others' issues.
While research about birth order's impact on personality is inconclusive, there appears to be a complex relationship between being an eldest daughter and prevalent societal expectations.
