Things that twins have to go through in life

Even though twins may look the same, but they are 2 very different people with different dreams and hopes and choices about life. However, people often consider them as two parts of a same person and end up being weird around them asking them things that are uncalled for. Here are few things that annoy the hell out of twins in general.

Mis-recognition

It is anyways annoying if you are called out by a different name than yours; now imagine acquaintances calling you by your twin’s name more often than not. It is not cute after the first time especially when friends try to have fun with that at your expense.

Questions about telepathic Connection

No! Unless the twins are a part of the X-Men franchise and have the mutant powers of Prof. X. Xavier and Jean Grey, they do not share a telepathic connection. Of course they share a strong sibling bond but no mutant powers wherein one feels the physical pain of the others and talk to each other in their heads.

Experience bizarre comments

Comments like “do you have a twin or have you just been changing your clothes all day?” or “Have you exchanged partners”? Or “do you do everything together” or “do you feel the need to use the washroom at the same time”? These comments and more such are nothing but silly and may be hurtful at times.

Identity Crisis

Being considered as two parts of a single unit rather than two separate individuals, may lead to some major identity crisis moments especially in the formative & impressionable years of life.
