Is it normal i don’t feel very close with my sisters?

I don’t know what it is, but I feel like there’s been a disconnect between me and my two older sisters (I’m the only boy) in the past few years. We used to get along just fine as kids (even if they got on my nerves once in a while) but lately I’ve just not felt very close to them. There’s even moments where I feel almost like I DISlike them, although I’m sure in a dire situation I would truly care.

I’m just frustrated that they think I’m so innocent because I’m the youngest, and nearly every word I hear out of them is a complaint (which I know seems ironic since I’m complaining rn, but most of our dinners are me eating quietly and them complaining to my mom about their jobs). They both went on vacation recently and it’s been GREAT not having them around. I just wish they’d move out already, one of them is in their late 20s, other mid 20s (and I know some people will argue about student debt and all that, my oldest has, but it annoys me that they spend so much and complain about me buying things from Barnes and Noble, a point my mom has made against them).

And that’s another thing, even my mom agrees with me for the most part. I’m only 20 but I already wish I could just live on my own away from them, even if only for a little while. But unfortunately I spent most of high school obsessing over a girl than doing independent things for myself (I know I run the risk of sounding sexist here, but it seems most of my problems so far have revolved around girls).

What makes it more awkward is that my sisters don’t feel this way about me, and my second oldest seems to always guilt trip us by telling us how much she loves our family while simultaneously being obnoxious as hell! Imagine if an acquaintance of yours who you found annoying was being so loving over you, it’d be really weird!

And I think that sums it up, at this point I really view them more as acquaintances than family. Sorry if this was a long post but I’m just so tired of putting up with other people’s bs, even if they’re a part of my family!

    Being blood related does not mean u have to like them, u are all very different personalities.
    I don’t really like my parents and never talk to them, it’s fine to leave them behind if the relationship doesn’t work out with yous.

    It's completely normal to be annoyed by your siblings.

    Not everyone has a good relationship with their family; be it from trauma, separation, or just not liking each other as people. Like who you like, and remember the bonds you share through friendship are tenfold the strength of those formed by blood alone.

    • It’s ironic because my second oldest always stresses that family is more important than friends. At the moment I’m not very social, so at the very least I’m around them longer.
