Lots of TV shows and movies make it seem like siblings are best friends with each other.
But is it actually quite the opposite for you and your siblings in real life?
Are any of you not close with your siblings even though you get along?
I get along with my brother and sister, but I know I'd have trouble having a conversation if I was alone with either of them due to differences in personality, having little or no common ground, etc.
I don't think we'd say much to each other outside of saying Hi and exchanging a few pleasantries even though we get along.

I get along fine with my brother and sister but we are very different with very different interest so we don`t really speak apart from 2-4 times a year. And i don`t really have any interest in seeing them more than that. Because i don`t really have anything in common with them.

My younger brother and I would get along, but our mom kind of pits us against each other and he's also a bit of a hypocrite so we go on and off of speaking terms.
My older brother and I get along, but live in different states so don't talk a lot for that reason.

Very close to both siblings, but closer to my sister. Even though she lives in the South and my brother lives an hour and a half from us, I actually see my sister more than my brother.

I would probably say I am closer than not and we generally get along.
but I could easily see how some might not get along if your not pretty much on the same page when it comes to certain things etc. like some people just have something to where they don't click enough and once you cross that point you will be further apart than close.
p.s. personally I think it would suck not having a close family because at the end of the day family (especially a more select group of general family) is about the only ones you can really trust and count on.
This is the stuff I am basically talking about as there are not many people I would be able to talk to just straight up but my sibling is one I can talk to. but I think some of why I can is because we ain't that far apart in general. because if someone was quite a bit different politically, and just in general on random topics, then I could easily see it being a lot more awkward to where you generally ain't going to say much etc.

I tend to think sibs who are extremely close are probably more the exception than the rule. The notion otherwise is just one more example of how many Americans buy into Hollywood fantasy as a factual mirroring of life.

I’m not sure what level of closeness I have...I have no problem holding conversations with any of them. But I may go months without calling or texting a few of them.
