Siblings. Is this normal?

My family and I are normal, but not that close to each other. I'm the youngest of 3 children. My sister is 6 years older than me and my brother is 9 years older than me. In the house or in the car, we usually never talk to each other. Probably just small talk, but never a real conversation. But recently, we're starting to talk a little. Me and my sister started to get closer. at least we can start a conversation and share some secrets. And with my brother, we started to talk a little sometimes, but never a conversation. I'm not really talkative at home, and so as he. Even though it's better now, I'm just wondering, is it normal?

its probably your individual interests. you dont get to do the same things most of the time..

I am honestly an only child but I have half and step-siblings that I never really talk to as an adult. So I guess that it is normal not to be able to talk to each other much.

It's probably the huge age gap that makes you having less conversations with your siblings.

@Ianist Then it must not be the only reason - I'm sure personalities have something to do with this too...

Probably. Sometimes I think it's like that too, but some friends I know who has a bigger age gap with his brother holds a conversation just fine.
