So I have an identical twin sister and I'm so tired of being compared to her all the time. She and I are best friends and love each other unconditionally, but people are driving me crazy with all their comparisons. It seems like no matter what I do, I am known as the "cute" twin while she is recognized as the "sexy" twin. It just really hurts because I don't want to be labelled/stereotyped anymore and people don't seem to understand that we are completely different people. I understand that it's only normal for people to notice and comment on our similarities, but no one seems to recognize that we also have differences that separate us. Although we get along 90% of the time, sometimes we get so competitive with each other and I honestly think it's because people pit us against each other at every turn. I'm really trying to ignore people's comments and maintain a happy relationship with my twin sister, but I just can't help but feel like I need my space. We are heading off to college in September and I'm really considering attending a different college because I want to gain independence and claim an identity that is entirely my own. On the other hand, my twin sister will be extremely hurt by this and the problem is that my decision has nothing to do with her and everything to do with the people who are constantly judging us. I don't really know what I'm expecting but I could really use some advice. Please share your own experiences about being a twin and how you handle the constant comparisons being made. Thanks lovelies!!! <3
