When family treats single siblings as interchangeable units

My sister and I are both single and our family keeps treating us like a unit at gatherings - asking us the same questions about dating, making the same comments about settling down, like we're interchangeable. We handle it completely differently and it's creating distance between us even though we're going through similar things.

What we've seen

Shared circumstances don't necessarily create shared responses, and external pressure can drive apart the very people who might understand each other best.

Worth thinking about
