How is your relationship with your (opposite sex) siblings?

[Anonymous]

I've been lucky to have avoided any major conflicts with my sister, but for the past 10+ years, we've lived completely separate lives. When she roomed at home during school and college for example, she wouldn't interact much with the family and spent a ton of time in her room. Fortunately, she was more well-adjusted than I was and frequently went out with friends. Part of me wishes we were closer. Is this a bad thing to wish for or should I honestly just leave her be?

(I imagine many of you with same sex siblings might be in a similar boat, so that's why I'm keeping it open).

Great

Mediocre

Bad

Really great, we are good friends, hang out with each other and our opposite friends groups. She’s friends with two of my ex gfs, which also helps keep things cordial there. Was out today running with her and also popped to shops, treated her n we had cakes n smoothies.

Bad. I consumed her in the womb. So she prob hates me.

My brother and I are both introverts. We don't really interact much. We respect each other as family but we don't have a close relationship.

Had a video call with him today for two hours. He’s my better version in this universe.

It was good, but both are deceased, lost to cancer in 2000 and 2018, respectively.

Great, we're very close.

Do you think I'm wrong for wanting to be closer to her, even with her own life going in a separate direction?

I don't think it's wrong to want to be close with any family members. I want to be close with the parents, but too much happened.
