People change when they're in love. Josiah Duggar, 20, from the new TLC show "Counting On" noticed that his sisters always act strangely when suitors start courting them.

During a recent episode of the show, Josiah said Jill, Jessa and Jinger acted all the same when they were being courted. "All of my siblings when they're interested in somebody just like can't think or concentrate. Sometimes you feel like breaking their phone. Let's put it away for awhile," he said as reported by PEOPLE. "You realise everyone is going to go through this phase in life, so just deal with it because everyone is going to have to deal with you someday," he added.

Jinger, who just got engaged to soccer player Jeremy Vuolo, became glued to her phone after falling in love. She would often take selfies to send to her fiancé, much to the chagrin of her siblings.

"I don't think I'm driving people nuts with it," the 22-year-old says of her new behaviour. "I think when you're in love everybody knows about it. I think everybody will understand when they get to that place themselves."

"When Jill and Jessa were in their relationships, I did notice that they would talk a lot on the phone," she continues. "Sometimes I would mention something and they wouldn't quite catch it... I was like 'Oh, wow. They've changed quite a bit,' and I thought I am a little bit of that type of person and I could see how I would do that, but probably not that much. I was wrong."

Jinger's younger sister Joy-Anna is trying to be understanding of the change in Jinger because she feels she would be worse than her sisters when it's her turn to court. "Now that I've seen her, and how drastic she's gone... I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and not say anything," Joy-Anna reflects. "I'll be the worst of them all probably."
