How to get along with my sister
Me and my sister cannot get along. It is a shame because we are both grown adults. I am 26 and she is 25. We are like Salt and Sugar, this is how different we are. My mother always blames me because although my sister is so childlish and inmature, I am the oldest and set the example which it really makes me go nuts because we are only a year apart. Me and my sister lives in two different states and we get along great on the phone but as soon as we get together is like a disaster waiting to happen. I truly try hard but she gets on my nerves sooo bad! If she sees I am very upset at her and I just dont feel like talking, I cannot get away from her, she talks and talks her head off and I try to ignore her until I calm down but she wont budge. She makes everything worst. I wish I could just forget about her and I would love to completely cut her out of my life but she is my sister and I am suppose to love her the way she is but I just dont know how to get along with her. She is extremely selfish. We dont even share anything in common. She does not give me any respect or privacy. I even honestly think that my mom had an affair with another man because she does not even look like my dad at all when he was alive although my mom denies it of course.

I have the exact same problem. Only the roles are vice versa. I can't stand my sister at all. She never gives me privacy, she's always trying to get into my buisness when it doesn't concern her, and she never (and I mean never) stops talking.
Despite all that I still love her.
Anyway, when she's talking and won't be quite try focusing on something else. Catch a few words every once in awhile so you can say something relative to what she's saying that way it seems like you're actually paying attention to her.
You could always find common ground, or a safe topic as well. Mine is 80's movies, hers is Sci-fi shows. Something we don't both have to like, but still have enough of an opinion on to have a civil conversation.
If you honestly just don't feel like talking, make up some bad news that made you 'feel' depressed and the talking won't come to a hault, but it will slow down.
Hoped some of that helped.

Maybe she just keeps talking because she's trying to get your mind off whatever's upsetting you. She could just be trying to help. Next time that happens just tell her you don't really feel like talking and you're gonna go take a nap or something. Just avoid her if you're having a bad day and talk to her another time. Tell her how you feel about wanting your own privacy. She can't change unless she wants to, but maybe it'll make a difference.
Aw, me and my brother look nothing alike either, but I know for a fact my dad is the real father to both of us. We have absolutely NOTHING in common with each other. Genetics are just weird that way.

I doubt those'll help you any, but they're worth reading at least.
Good luck! :D
