I don't really think that there is because your personality seems to be more dependent on how you were raised. It's a nature vs. nuture question, and I think it might have some of nature but definitely in my life, I've seen a greater impact from nuture instead of nature on this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, and I agree, though I do think it is somewhat part of my natural disposition to be shy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit of digging and there really isn't much of a correlation. But it would be interesting to see what percentage of the shard is an only, oldest, middle, or youngest child. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cone Slice Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 I know this forum hasn't been talked on, but I thought this would be worth sharing: Soooooooooooooo my brother is starting to read Stormlight for the first time, and he's only 11. I tried to warn him that it's an adult book with heavier topics and themes, and that he might want to start with those kids books Brandon Sanderson previously wrote, but he insisted on reading Stormlight. I believe it's because people at his school have this thing where you're "cool" if you read large books, but whatever this should be interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wants to read Stormlight, and I think she'd deal with it fine, and my parents seem to think so, too. She's read some other stuff by Brandon Sanderson; Rithmatist, Alcatraz, Skyward (just book one, I think) and I gave her Steelheart the other day. So I guess it all depends on the 11 year old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading the Reckoners as a ten year old and being mad that my parental unit wouldn't let me read SA. (snuck it a year later, though ) Now, how are your siblings on food pickiness? My sister only eats five things, and will not even consider anything else. Edited January 21, 2023 by Ranryu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO same. My mother gave me Game of Thrones to read when I was very young (idk exactly how young, but not more than 12.) My father let me watch the TV show. To be fair to my mum, she had absolutely no idea what it was about, she just knew I loved reading fantasy and that ASOIAF was a really popular fantasy series. Personally I think Mistborn is alright though, my little brother is 11 and I would have zero problems with him reading it. Edit: and he listened to the first two Stormlight audiobooks, so I have proof of his ability to digest adult-ish themes. Honestly I'd rather he read books than what he usually does, which is playing video games all day. Edit 2: also I really enjoyed ASOIAF but thought it was too dark (even told my mother that) which I think is a testament to younger me's good taste in books.

She gets Mistborn this year but nobody else gets much of anything.

So when i was 12, my brother was at peak annoying. so i started doing this this where i would play All Star and then squirt him with water whenever he was being annoying. and then i just had to start playing All Star for him to stop being annoying and run away. i psychologically conditioned him to respond to All Star. it was totally messed up, i know, but i was 12 and it was really really funny. (dw i stopped doing it) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
