Who are you closest with in your family?

My answer is similar to @/ZeldaCrossing64’s answer. Out of everyone, I think it’s my little brother. We have the same room and he’s the one I’m around the most. I always complain about how annoying and immature he can be, and I really do hate him sometimes, but ultimately I do care about him. And I’m pretty sure he also does but he’ll never admit it.
 
My sister and I have always been close and she has always done her best to look out for me. Even when we were kids, she was always happy to be a big sister and never showed any signs of jealousy towards me and understood that some of the things I did as a kid was normal behavior. I typically visit her during the Christmas week and do things with her family.
 
My older brother, we don't hang out much anymore because he's in college and in a different city but we call every 1 or 2 weeks usually.
 
When I was young I was closest with my youngest brother, but then when I got to high school I became closer with my middle brother. (I'm the oldest.) My youngest brother is 4 years younger than me so we were never in school together. So that's why I think I got closer to my middle brother because we would see each other all the time. And then even into adulthood I think my youngest brother wanted to kind of strike out into his own friend world. He's also kind of a "I'm too cool for you." kind of guy. I was close to my mom too. Definitely more so than my dad by a million miles. Unfortunately she passed away about 13 years ago in a car accident. I wish we could have spent more time together. But I was really happy with the time we were able to spend together.

As for the rest of my family, we just don't have a lot of close family nearby. I have a lot of cousins, but they're all in another country and they don't come over very often and we didnt travel there too often so I never saw them very much growing up. I have one set of cousins that lives nearby and I would see them but I've kind of lost touch with them. And then I have another set of second cousins that is kind of close by. But I think my parents each had about a dozen siblings and so there's a lot of other cousins! I went on a trip back to Taiwan about 13 years ago and so I met a bunch of them then. But I think we use different social media! I hope to get back into contact with them someday.
 
I always say out loud I don’t like playing favorites, but I think I get along most with my mom 😅 The thing with me and my mom is that we get along well, but both our tempers are very short so when we end up fighting it’s just. Really bad. 😭 My dad I wasn’t as close with because he was the breadwinner of the family so he had to work more hours than my mom. Though now that I’m grown I’ve been trying to spend more time with the both of them :)

Was never really close with the maternal side of my family. I have a lot of issues with my paternal side.
 
I’m the closest with my mom. My dad and I don’t have a good relationship; he always treated me different than my sister. He doesn’t treat his anxiety either and lashes out at me and my mom when he gets anxious.
 
I would say I'm generally close to everyone in my immediate family, but I wouldn't say I'm overly close with one person more than others!
 
Very close to my mum, she’s my bestfriend. My 2 children are the light of my life. Close to 2 of my brothers (I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters). Also very close to a few of my cousins, my auntie and my nana 🫶🏼
 
My little brother and probably my mom. Oh, and my sister @Azzy. My little brother and I aren't on speaking terms at the moment, but we've been super close for years.
My older sister though, we hang out often! She's like my bestie xD I love her so much. We talk about everything. Same thing goes for my mom.
 
I think my dad or mom. I love my sister to death but our age difference makes it really hard to connect and rely on eachother for support.
