Is it normal to dislike your siblings?
Yes, it’s normal to dislike your siblings sometimes—or even to feel you’re just not close. Being related doesn’t guarantee you’ll get along or enjoy each other’s company.
Siblings can push each other’s buttons like nobody else, especially when there’s old rivalry, very different personalities, or a long history of feeling compared or misunderstood. Some siblings grow into close friends; others get along best with a little space, and plenty land somewhere in between.
You don’t have to force affection just because you share a family. It’s fine to keep reasonable distance and be civil. If the relationship involves ongoing cruelty, intimidation, or abuse, though, that’s more than ordinary sibling dislike, and it’s okay to seek support or set firmer boundaries.
