Are you the youngest child who’s always been seen as “the fun one”—but never quite taken seriously? In this episode of Not Your Therapist, we’re breaking down the psychology of the youngest child: how being the “baby” of the family shapes your personality, relationships, and sense of identity.

We explore how youngest kids often become the entertainer or escape artist, the impact of being underestimated, and how this birth order role can lead to charm, deflection, and hidden pressure to prove yourself in adulthood. It’s not all fun and games when you’re secretly tired of being seen as “the irresponsible one.”

Whether you’re the family wildcard or the secretly exhausted youngest, this episode will help you unpack what you inherited—and how to outgrow it.
