I guess every middle child has this thing with their parents where they think they are not appreciated enough and they try to do whatever it takes to be accepted. In this snippet, Aaryan showed me how this was the case for him for many years until he realized one day that the treatment wasn't any different and he then seeks his own acceptance instead. From being a short-tempered child, he turned into a calmer person, thinking this would help the others like him better. I would say if the change in behavior helped him make better decisions that he would not regret, his own acceptance is the only validation he should seek.
