to not have many friends with sisters?

Well, I don't think this is a choice, so probably can't be being unreasonable about it. But is it unreasonable to think that women/girls with sisters always have that constant security from childhood and never really become super close to other friends? I don't have a sister, so I don't know, and the only women I know with sisters are very friendly and lovely people, but somehow we never get beyond a certain level of intimacy. Or am I a loon?

Forgot to say I have an older brother as well, but I don't think he has had much effect on my friendships either lol.

I have three sisters, and I must admit I don't get how you can be closer to a friend than to someone you've grown up so closely with . I'm probably unusual that way. I have no trouble maintaining friendships but I don't really love any friend of mine the way I love (in a silent way btw, we don't hug or tell each other or anything) my sisters.
