3. In a sibling, you see yourself.
Even if you’re polar opposites, there’s something strangely familiar and cosy about your sibling.
You may see the end of your own nose in her. You hear a familiar way of laughing. You’ll recognise in her the same impatience you can’t stand in yourself, or notice how resilient she is in tough situations – just like you.
With him, you’re always at home.
4. In a sibling, you see your parents.
Oh no, it’s just like Mum again.
Oh wonderful, it’s just like dad again.
You see not only yourself, but also your parents. Sometimes it comforts you, sometimes it makes you laugh, sometimes it just annoys you.
