Hey Meags,
I am a twin and I am starting to get very annoyed at this. I feel like people think of my twin and I as the same person. We hang out together alot , but I can't always help that because we have the smae intrests so we end up in the same sports/activities. How do I become more independent. I am thinking of trying to find some new frieds (we have the same group of friends)and my old friends are getting kind of boring. The problem is I don't think I am very good at making friends. I have always had a twin there so I never had to "learn" how to "make friends." Do you know any twins and do you think of them as the same person?

Meags227 answered Tuesday March 22 2005, 9:13 pm: Well, I know a lot of twins, and if I don't know them well, I tend to think of them as one type of person (Not one person, but one TYPE, because they aren't siamese twins...) However, the twins I know better, I think of them as 2 totally different individuals, even though they have the same friends and do the same sports. Try not to get annoyed, because that's normal for people to assume that 2 people that look alike think and act alike. People do the same for brothers and sisters (trust me, I know!). Don't leave your old friends for this reason only- leave them if you really don't like them anymore. As for making new friends, try talking to people in your classes or being more friendly, especially to people who you would like to get to know better. Also, talk to your twin and see if they feel the same way. Hope I helped!
