4. My sister and my brother are far more social.

Both are happily married. They don't sequester themselves as I do. They accept my choice to be separate from them although we are loyal to each other.

Growing up, they tried to get me to go along with our parents, no matter how improvident they were. My brother appreciated my independence when I stood up for him when our father tried to get the rest of the family to ostracize him when he converted to Islam.
