Do you like your siblings?

Anonymous
I don’t really like my sister. She has betrayed my trust to many times. I guess maybe if we were officemates or something.

I love my brother but he can be a blowhard and a knowitall sometimes.

I am SURE they think I’m annoying at times too.

Yes, best friends. Like and love them.

Same here. My sibling is a sociopath whose true colors really showed after our parents died. She acted in a very sneaky way and could not be trusted.

I actually think I would like my sisters more if I WASN'T their sister. As casual friends they are ok. It's the family/sibling dynamics that mess things up

My sister - yes
My brother - nope

My sister is one of my best friends. We have no other siblings.

No. My sibling has exceptionally poor boundaries; I've basically had to build a moat to keep them out. I still get the occasional nasty text - most recently on Christmas, ho ho ho - but we rarely have contact.

I wish it weren't that way, but she's profoundly untrustworthy and self-absorbed.

I have one sibling, an older brother.
I love him, and I like spending time with him.
I think I would have liked him even if he were not my sibling, he is very funny, kind and intelligent.
He has some quirks (I have some quirks too!). I might be more patient with his quirks since he is my brother.

My sister and I are extremely close and had we not been siblings it is unlikely we would even have known each other, because we live very different live lives. I hit the lottery to get to have her in my life.

I have a brother and I think he really dislikes me, which makes me be neutral/avoidant about him. We communicate a little more now that he has a child but before that almost never (we are in different countries). When I see him, he is sarcastic and puts me down a lot. I feel like he does not respect me at all. Part of it is definitely just personality, but it makes me sad.

Nope, I honestly hate her with all my heart. Succeeded in going 15 years without seeing or speaking to her.

Eh. He's gotten really snobby and self-righteous since he married.

Yes, I genuinely like my brother. Thank goodness, because our parents are duds. Took me a long time to realize/appreciate that I am lucky to have a wonderful sibling to go through life with.

We wouldn’t be best friends but we’d be friends still.

I have 2 younger brothers. I genuinely like my youngest brother--as adults, we are much more similar then we ever were as kids. We text each other a couple of times per week and our families see each other twice per year (we don't live close). I was much closer to my middle brother growing up but I cannot stand to be around him now. We don't live near each other so I only see him about once per year. I want to enjoy his company but I just don't.
