Answer 1

I am in a similiar situation and there is nothing that you can really do. I was real close too my cousins when we was young and now that we are older we changed. We all have families and live so far that we all started to get disattached.

I do communicate with at lease one of my cousins, we call each other once a month at lease. Maybe you should try calling them and try to rebuild that relationship with them.. Good Luck!!!!

Answer 2

If this is really bothering you, then you should take steps to be closer. Arrange get togethers, call on the phone, etc. Find common interests besides the blood relations. But the truth is that you may not have anything in common except blood. I have cousins spread all over the country and haven't spoken to any of them in years. I'm not mad at any of them, our lives have just taken separate paths. If that's the case with you, let yourself off the hook.

Answer 3

The only thing you can do is be yourself, and not let anything get in the way of you being you. There is always a black sheep in the circle, whether it is family, friends, cousins, sadly, there are even black sheep in church circles. Do not let feeling different, make you feel like you are inferior, God made us all equal, and if you always remember that, you will feel less like a black sheep, and more like a child of God.

Answer 4

To have a good friend you have to be a good friend. Many times when I want to make a friend, I act as if I am already friends with that person. I wouldn't worry about reasons that you are not good friends with your cousins, just act as if you are and they will warm up to you.
