On my mom's side I don't actually have any first cousins but I have four second cousins that I was pretty close to growing up, as close as some people are to their first cousins. One of them in particular I used to chat online with a lot when we were younger teens but eventually stopped that years ago, probably around the middle of high school. Now I'm not particularly close anymore with any of them but I still see them a couple times a year at family events. My sister however still hangs out with one of them on occasion.

On my dad's side I have.... 6 first cousins. Two of them me and my sister were pretty close to growing up but our family had a falling out with theirs when we were younger and it has continued into adulthood. I haven't seen them or spoken to them since. Pretty dumb but whatever. The remaining 4 I have barely seen and/or spoken to.

Overall I was probably closer to the second cousins on my mom's side than to any first cousins on my dad's. It wasn't quite "extra siblings" but probably somewhere between close friend and sibling.
