Every couple of days she'll send me a Facebook message saying 'I love you' and get very upset if I don't respond in kind.

I suppose it might be nice to hear that sort of sentiment every once in a while but it's really getting quite cloying now. I avoid starting conversations with her. If I say something funny she'll go on about how oh you're such a comedian I've always loved this about you bla bla bla. I'm starting to see the value of keeping emotions bottled up inside.

 

[demon]

you sound like a great brother.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Have you made sure she's feeling alright? Maybe she's trying to talk to you.

Never hurts to be sure.

 

[strafer]

maybe she wants to borrow some money

 

[davepoobond]

Does she not have a boyfriend or something

 

[Gordon Shumway]

you sound like a great brother.

lol..LMAO!

 

[Stahsky]

are you for real

 

[akira28]

aww I miss when my kid sisters were like that. I would give them hugs. Now they're surly 20+ year olds with the face make up and the loud music.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Maybe she like... loves you or something.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

you sound like a great brother.

What do you propose he does?

 

[Fenderputty]

you sound like a great brother.

I feel like we're missing too many details to be judgmental but yeah, OP doesn't sound too sweet.

 

[John Kowalski]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

 

[injurai]

But surely she can't be that cute.

 

[gamma]

you sound like a great brother.

ayyy lmao

Well this has been going on for years now.

I'm just not comfortable with this kind of chatter.

Is this really normal behaviour? I don't interact like this with any of my family and friends and I'd find it unbearable if we did. I'm happy to know that we all care very much about each other without having to consciously express it so frequently.

 

[Live Free or Die]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

My little sister can't be this cute?

 

[bobeth]

You are grade A boyfriend material OP, good luck!

 

[Kater]

Facebook interactions with relatives are always weird. Just talk to her on the telephone or on Skype (or Skype alternatives) instead.

 

[Gambit 1138]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

yes

yeah this is disturbing. I might expect that from a clingy ex girlfriend, not my sister. Tell her to find a boyfriend if she wants to start that shit.

 

[poopninjamvc3mk]

Call her up and see what's happening

 

[hunnies28]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

I was expecting this sooner.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

ayyy lmao

 

[Magwik]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

We all are

 

[zeemumu]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

*banjo playing*

 

[samn]

Some additional info: she got drunk recently and cornered my other sister in a hallway, grabbed her and said YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND I'D BE DISTRAUGHT IF ANYTHING HAPPENED and wouldn't let go until this was acknowledged.

I'm the youngest brother btw

 

[Skunkers]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

Onii-chan?

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

You are grade A boyfriend material OP, good luck!

Wait...wait...boyfriend? Are there more details we need to know?

Even worse if you won't say I love you if she is your sister and your girlfriend op.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

*banjo playing*

Fak..LOL.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Yea, voicing your love and affection for a relative, definitely sounds shady to me!

 

[Poyunch]

 

[Breakage]

Sounds like something from a Japanese anime.

 

[akira28]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

god dammit GAF. I swear sometimes you and the enternet are like mindcancer.

 

[PseudoKirby]

turns out OPs sister is 6.

 

[ShyGuy0504]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

What are you thinking?

That she wants to have

Spoiler

a talk

with her brother?

 

[terrisus]

Facebook

Facebook drama.
Talk to her in person.

 

[questionmark]

aww I miss when my kid sisters were like that. I would give them hugs. Now they're surly 20+ year olds with the face make up and the loud music.

Oh no, not the face make up!!

 

[studyguy]

hah

 

[Chie Satonaka]

This thread is delivering for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Live Free or Die]

for some reason I laughed when I saw the pic you posted then looked at your avatar. lol

this is the oldest drunk trope in the book

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

you sound like a great brother.

my thoughts exactly...holy crap, what a jerk of a brother she has...

I can understand if this was a lady friend, or a girlfriend you're not sure you like, but this is your fucking sister. Blood is thicker than water, and you sound like a jerk of a brother for not being there for your family like that.

 

[terrisus]

 

[ph1l0z0ph3r]

Go speak with her in person and ask her what the hell is wrong with her?

 

[belushy]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

Subscribed.

Anyway OP I've got no advice. I love my sisters and would reply to them if they talked to me on Facebook, but I can understand why it would get annoying if it was every day.

 

[Live Free or Die]

holy snap crap. lol

 

[Cyd0nia]

are you guys thinking what i'm thinking

💏

Possibly.

Go easy on her OP, you'd miss her if she were gone, you'd miss it if she didn't admire and love you. Family is for keeps. You're lucky.

Your sister sounds like someone I knew.
She was super clingy to her brother and her brother brought her along when he was on dates with his girlfriend. She broke up with him after a while (I fucking wonder why) and she starting clingy on to everyone else. She's married now, but still fishes for affection from people who aren't her husband.

I'm all for being 'there for each other' when somebody dies or we have Christmas or something but getting an 'I REALLY DO LOVE YOU' every day just seems a little much.
