My cousins were all much older than me/lived far away, so we barely have a relationship at all. It varies from family to family and culture to culture, but it is weird being so distant from all my relatives when up until now our family used to be so much more tight knit. I don’t really regret not being close to my family but, it must be nice to have cousins/relatives who feel like close friends

I used to when I was younger, then starting in high school I started seeing less and less of them at family gatherings. Then eventually my cousins stopped talking to me. Covid hit, and I’ve really only seen my grandparents since
