Talking to your uncle is permissable by all means. But talking about certain things may be sinful even with mahrams.
Some things you talk about may amount to backbiting. This means talking about someone behind their back in a manner they would not like. So if that is happening, it should be avoided.
Also the way we talk even to our own sisters, differs from the way we talk to our brothers. There is a limit which stems from having hayya. We should observe hayya and guard our tongues as Allah swt detests vain/loosetalk.
Thirdly dear sis, remember that the shaytaan and the evil within us, is always trying to tempt us into straying from the right Path. My view is that we should not be too pally pally (and definitely not physically affectionate) with even uncles, as I'm sorry to point out that sometimes it is the very people we trust that break their limits, or at least feel tempted to do so.
kind regards
