Does your sister start her day with a detailed account of the dreams that she saw at night during breakfast, or does she call you to tell you her adventure on the subway?
You should be grateful to her because it has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health.
Is your older or younger sister annoyingly talkative?
You should know that her babbling is a natural antidepressant.
This is what an American study found, as Julia Duranton said in a report published by the "Cosmopolitan" magazine in its French version.
Sister chattering helpful
Numerous works from novels, films, and series have dealt with the lives of the sisters, such as "Sisters Marsh" in "Little Women", "Halliwell Sisters" in the series "Enchanted by", and "Sisters Bennett" in the novel "Pride and Prejudice."
And according to a study published in the Journal of Family Psychology several years ago, growing up with a sister - especially if she is talkative - helps with personal development.
And the results of research by scientists at Brigham Young University indicate that living with a talkative sister will make family members more open to communication.
Knowing how to communicate and interact with others, listening and expressing feelings is essential to knowing yourself, moving forward in a positive way, and avoiding feeling sad and depressed.
Although having a chatty sister at home can be a nuisance, this has many benefits;
Most importantly, her chatter is a natural anti-depressant.

Sister make your life better
The study authors argue that people who grew up with one or more sisters are more open and happy compared to others, and having a sister in your life would make you more independent, enhance your ability to communicate, boost your confidence in yourself, and help you achieve your dreams.
The sisters are also a link between the various family members, helping to maintain the cohesion and unity of the family thanks to their ability to resolve conflicts.
In general, people who have sisters deal with difficulties in life - whether in the family, with friends, in romantic or professional relationships - better and are happier compared to others.
