1) Those two guys are annoying twats.
2) Guy on the left with the Cosby sweater is more annoying than the other.
3) Most of the seemingly weird coincidences are really not that weird.
4) People are completely unoriginal with their wedding songs.
5) E and I's first dance was to The Beatles's In My Life. We were probably the 5-millionth couple to request that song.
6) The odds that my brother would use the same song at his wedding, had he not known me, are not that long.
7) Growing up as a twin is pretty messed up.
8) Thankfully, Joe Rain and I didn't embrace the codependent twin lifestyle.
9) Life after high school (we went to different colleges) was still a bit messed up. Suddenly being a non-twin requires some adaptation.
10) That doublecut goldtop guitar in the back is cool.
 
7) Like the dudes pointed out, twins are (understandably) treated as two halves of the same person, not necessarily as two distinct persons. We sort-of avoided that by having non-mutual interests, different tastes in girls, etc. But still, people on the street point at you - they literally stop you and engage you on the topic of your twinness, etc. You're a bit of a freak show. Which is all fine and well...

9) ...until the twins are separated and must now face the world and make friends on their own. You grow up not having to initiate contact with people (people come at you all the time), so you don't really develop that other 50% of social interaction until way later in life. That is when my social anxiety flared up. Had I been enrolled in a university program that involved a lot of teamwork, I would've dropped out. Luckily I was studying Lit and could safely avoid going to class whenever I didn't feel like it (Exams were all in take-home essay form.) When I had no choice but to work in a team, I would associate with the dumbest and/or most awkward people in the room and do all the work myself. My twin tried going to university twice and he dropped out both times.

I'm sure that a lot of identical twins, probably a majority of them, have it even tougher than my bro and I. A significant percentage of them are unable to ever be separated. We did pretty well in comparison.

Interesting. My wife and I say identical twins a week or so ago who were older. They dressed the exact same. It made me think how difficult their life likely was especially when it came to relationships. Then it made me wonder if twins who are so close that they can't leave each other end up having one husband/wife for both. I'm dead serious. Then I though there must be a convention for twins who can't separate from each other. A convention for hooking up. Sounds weird, but that's what I was thinking when I saw these twins.

Non twins just don't get it.

I get that. How well do you deal now, compared to then? I think it's good you two aren't codependent.

I don't think meant it quite that extreme. I am sure twins can live their own lives, they just don't fair well being far apart and not seeing each other on some kind of regular basis.
 
The idea of people approaching twins to basically say, "Hey, you're twins. Heavens to Betsy. Twins, are you?" and so on

Holy fok. People really do that? Well apparently so. With regularity. :facepalm:

It does not elevate my already somewhat low opinion of the human race.

People need closure. They have to know and cannot carry on with their lives without knowing.

Vous z'tes-tu des jumeaux?!?
