Sisters..how can we be so very very different

Hi saundyl! I don't have any sisters so I really couldn't say, but I do know that it is very possible for siblings to be different! I have friends that have sisters and they have different personalities. They may be similar in some ways, but not all! Like you said, two of your sisters are similar and only one is very different! So that is very possible! She wants to be the oddball! If she wants to waste her money on designer names then let her! I personally feel that your way is the better way! I am more like you! Can I be your sister too? I would much rather buy a whole bunch of stuff for less money then one thing for more money! I see no purpose in wasting money like that! Let me know if your family can adopt me! lol

You know its funny, I was just saying the same thing to my husband the other day. My sister and I are pretty different too. She is the same way with some things. For her son she has tons of clothes given to her and she passed most of them down for me even though there was nothing wrong with them. Relationships are different too. We came from a stable home and our parents have been married for 30 years. I was always one for serious relationships where she jumped around quite a bit. She always picked these loser guys that cheated on her or took advantage of her and she let them do it. I wish we were more alike I would like to be closer to my sister.

Personally I think it is all a matter of taste. I know my sisters and I are definately different. I have been one for a long time now that really prefers name Brand clothing over WalMart, and especially 2nd hand. I will shop the clearance racks most of the time, and really good sales most of the time for sure. What bugs me about Thrift Stores is why they charge sometimes just as much for second hand stuff as I pay brand New is beyond me for sure. But it is a matter of taste. My sisters have always been opposites of me usually and have never really been picky, so I am sure there are differences in all families out there for sure.

We're all kinda different - there are 5 of us, I have 2 brothers (one older and one younger) and 2 sisters (both younter). In some ways we're the same, but quite a bit of our tastes are different. Now, I did not live with my brothers and sisters from the timeI was 15 until my mid-twenties, but for our youngest years we were all raised the same.

It doesn't surprise me. Even though two people grow up in the same environment with the same parents, it doesn't mean they'll turn out the same. A lot of your personality comes from you. My sister and I are actually pretty similar. We're both big readers, love to write, fun-loving, and kinda crazy at times. But we're not completely the same. She has more of an artistic side than I do for instance (I can't draw to save my life). She's a bit shier than I am, and she's much more sensitive than me. She'll cry for touching scenes in movies or books, and I won't. (I know... I'm such a weird female). I'm much more active than she is. I love to dance and run while she would prefer to stay seated all day. It doesn't have anything to do with the way we were raised or where we grew up... it's just us.

I don't find it that odd that personality between siblings is different...personality makes you who you are. If you told me that you and your sister had completely different moral views of the world after being raised in the same household, I might find that odd...but personality? No. My sister is just barely three years younger than me, and growing up we had the regular sibling rivalry, she was daddy's little princess and I was a tomboy (lol)...she would pick flowers and refused to wear anything but dresses, and I would smash around in dad's workshop and misplace all his tools. We were never close as children..mostly because our INTERESTS were so different..she wanted to play barbie, and I wanted to go fishing. Today..we're still not close, most probably because we still don't share any of the same interests, and we were not close growing up...we didn't really make any kind of bond that would hold us together as adults, and honestly...I'm ok with that. You can't choose your family, you get what you get...but just because someone is family doesn't mean that you are required to be best friends, it just means you are family. In an ideal world perhaps siblings are inseparable and will move mountains for each other (movies are wonderful things)..but in the real world, siblings don't always get along, and doing so is not required in order to be happy or function as a family. My sister and I may be different...night and day in fact...but I don't find that odd or disturbing in the least, that's just how people are. :)

Somewhat similar, somewhat different. My sibs and I are a little of both. My youngest sister is deceased. My oldest sister is a half sister. I would say that my younger sister, my brother, and I are alike we are all workaholics. My older sister is an excuseaholic. None of us are too proud to buy second hand. All of us have some kind of creative vision for our recycled treasures. My older sister, like my mom, holds on to "stuff" even when the stuff becomes trash or junk. I am cluttered, but I do not have to own things to feel wealthy. Sometimes the neediness is a sign of insecurity or a feeling that they lacked attention.

I always found a correlation between the way the people were raised and how they viewed clothes and other such things so this is an interesting story for me. My only other sibling is a 8 year old little brother (I am 19) so I don't really know how to compare but it's interesting to know that you and your other two sisters are more alike where as this one sister sticks out as a very "gotta be new and expensive" person.

My sister and I were nothing alike either. We had very little in common. Then my daughters are all different also, as different as day and night. I have to say though you sound the most practical of the two of you, which will get you through harder times than someone who has to have the finest of it all. Each to his own I guess!

I read this and though wow sounds like me and my sister. My sister prefers expensive stuff as well. I like to save money as much as possible. So i buy used stuff and take handmedowns as well. When i was pregnant i didn't have alot so i was happy when alot of stuff was given to me even if it was used or new. For her when she was pregnant everything was practically new and had to be real nice. I got her a changing table that was over 20 years old and was just so precious but she begged our dad to buy a 80 dollar changing table from walmart. My sister is just outrageous when it comes to spending money. Just last week i was talking to my mom about cell phones. My sister went i spent two hundred dollars to get a new phone and new contract. She already had a decent phone that just needed minutes but never mind she has a baby and three step children to feed. She just doesn't think. Her husband is just as bad. He is an overgrown child.

I am different from my younger sister. Our looks are different. I am the one with big eyes while she inherited beautiful chinese looks from my mom. I am always jealous of her straight hair while I have wavy hair. She is so skill with massaging while I can only make people laugh when I touch them. But I win over with cooking skills . Despite that we have the same hobby : collecting stuffs.

All siblings are different. My sisters and I do share alot of similar interests, but we have alot of differences too. I'm more the shy, softspoken one, my older sister is more of a hellion, and my oldest sister is just kinda her own person. We all have different traits and qualities that make us who we are. I think that life experiences and the events that take place in our lifes shape us and our personalities, so the fact that you were probably more similar growing up is because you were in the same environment, exposed to the same elements everyday, but as you get older and you grow and mature, and go through whatever life experiences you do, that all shapes you into who you are now.

I don't have any sister/s, but I think it is pssible that you'll be different in some ways. One reason for me is the fact that maybe (I'm assuming)that you have different set of friends. Especially for teeangers, they have to have their own idenity, most of the times their friends/ classmates have the most influential aspect to their personality. As she tries to be one of them, you view her to be different. but in most cases as people grow old you'll find things that will make you stop and say "yeah we're really are sisters". hope to help yah..
