People always seem to be fascinated about twins. From the numerous times of getting asked “what’s it like?” to being mistaken for the other half, here are some things that only twins will understand.

People conveniently referring to you as “The Twins”
It doesn’t matter what your names are, you and your twin sibling are always referred to as “The Twins”.

Trouble distinguishing yourself in baby photos 
If you’re a pair of identical twins, you have no idea who is who in your baby photos.

Your parents used to dress you up identically all the time
It seems like it was a much easier choice for them to buy two sets of identical clothing than picking out two different ones.

Pushing blame to your other twin
When necessary, there is always a scapegoat on who to push the blame to.

Learning to respond to each other’s names
Because it’s simply easier to do so than to have to explain to people. And it avoids a whole lot of awkwardness–they might just be your twin’s friends.

You always thought that people could tell the both of you apart
And it turns out that you’re always wrong. You’ve accepted the fact that people will forever be coming up to you and calling your twin’s name.

The awkward moment when someone confuses you for your twin
It gets especially awkward when you let them ramble on and leave the conversation without knowing they’ve got the wrong person.

All you want is to be treated like an individual
Just stop it with the matching presents and constant reference as a pair. Twins are individuals with their own thoughts and feelings!

Constantly getting asked what it’s like to be a twin
Till today you still have no perfect answer. It’s like getting asked what it’s like to breathe.

People are amazed that you don’t know about another set of twins that they know
Being twins does not mean that you need to know every other twins in the country! It’s not a fricking club.
