People not thinking identical twins look alike
So I am an identical twin. I live on the other side of the world from my sister and have done so for a few years now so we both have separate groups of friends. I have not met her friends and she has not met mine. I never normally mention that I am a twin (I normally just say I have a brother and a sister) but I said it in passing the other day to my friend group.
All my friends asked whether we were identical and I obvs said that we were, then they wanted to see a pic. I show them and they all say the same thing- you don’t look the same at all!
See, now I think this is untrue, my family members get us mixed up, I sometimes find it hard to see who is who in some pictures and we get stopped in the street by people asking if we are twins when we are together all the time. I argued that my friends could only tell the difference because they know me so well as an individual and that if they met me and my twin at the same time then they wouldn’t be able to tell who is who so easily.
I know it’s silly but being a twin is part of my identity and it irritates me a little when people say that we don’t even look the same. Have any other identical twins encountered this??
