My siblings and friends.
"I didn't see eye to eye with any of my siblings when I was growing up" - this phrase is true for me even now. There were really large gaps between birth of children in my family. My older sister was ten when I was born, so she used to be like a nanny to me. But I don't remember anything about that part of my childhood. We are not of like mind today too. I think, we have completely different mindsets and prefer dissimilar things. So we aren't really close with her.
And I love my step-sister, but she was born when I was ten and she was living in another country so we didn't have an opportunity to communicate much. Today we keep in touch using social nets, Instagram and spend some time together when I visit father in St. Petersburg.
In this way I believe that family relations are important for people, but as for me I find my soulmates among friends and colleagues, not among siblings.

My siblings and friends.
"I didn't see eye to eye with any of my siblings when I was growing up" - this phrase is true for me even now. There were really large age gaps among the children in my family (or "my siblings and I"). My older sister was ten when I was born, so she was like a nanny to me. But I remember very little about that part of my childhood. Today we have completely different mindsets and prefer different ('dissimilar' sounds slightly technical here) things. So we are not really close.
And I love my step-sister, but she was born when I was ten and she was raised (?) in another country so we didn't have an opportunity to communicate much. Today we keep in touch using social media and Instagram and spend some time together when I/we (?) visit my/our father in St. Petersburg.
In this way, I believe that family relations are important for people, but I tend to form stronger personal connections with friends and colleagues than I have with my siblings.

Note:
This is well written. I could suggest more changes but they would be picky things. Good job.
Usually "soulmate" is used in reference a love interest (e.g., boyfriend/girlfriend). There are other ways to say "personal connections" though.

The truth is at times friends understand us more than family. That doesn't change the fact that Family Is Forever.
