Hello. My family is three. It�s my father and sister.
I and her are an identical twins.
Our friend every time said.
"I thought, you like same face your sister. But you and her does not same personality"
I think about it.
I like cat, fantasy story and my grandmother.
However she likes dog, mystery story and only a little like grandmother.
My personality is positive.
Her personality is negative.

Many people believe all same is twins that identical twins and fraternal twins too.

So I have question.
Why many people think anything same to twins?

It is image? It is prejudice? It is your own experience?

I want to know about it reason.

Hi, Kaori

I experienced becoming same class one girl of twins.
I couldn't know their difference, so Speaking with her was diffcult for me.
I have same type image for twins, too. Because I watch twins on tV Cool

They are so resemble Shocked

So I have it Wink

we have twins in our class, and they are mostely the same....they have similar interests, are good in the same subjects, have the same friends, look the same (of course, lol)....i think that's why we all think twins are pretty much the same...just from experience

In china ,the twins' parents used to give the twins the same colothes the same shoes.and the twins have the same hairstyle. They uausally spend the time together.
and most people think the twins should be the same.then twins themself think they are same.that is not right.
and actually,they have their own personality.although they look alike each other
