How can I stop my twin brother from being so clingy?

Question

Hello I'm a Junior in high school and I have a twin brother who is clingy/weird to the point that it's actually getting uncomfortable D: he's really overprotective as if he's my dad & interrupt/hugs me every time I talk to a guy/upperclassmen/underclassmen D:< & crashes into my bedroom & tries to hold hand & etc... it's honestly really embarrassing. It's not like he don't have any friends or sth he's actually really popular among our classmates but I don't understand why he's not letting me liVE MY LIFE PEACEFULLY SMH. Are there any good ideas to at least make my brother leave me alone during school hours? Thank you so much.

Twins are like this. I'm not one, but there was a vh1 show with identical twins. Most had never spent a night apart and had meltdowns when the show separated them. Since you two are fraternal, he can't be attached to your hip forever. Her sees any guy as a threat to your relationship. Talk to him about it. Maybe start a "twin time" thing where you guys hang out without other people and talk. If it gets really bad, talk to your parents or a guidance counselor. There's probably advice on psychology websites as well.

It's hard to be Attached to a Twin Within, who is Most like Yourself. It seemingly is Giving him Confidence Here, Dear, to Be... Near. To you.
Sit bro down, no Frown, and have a Long talk. Tell him how you Feel with the Deal.
However, like any Bad Habit that is Hard to Break, with what you Try and Tell him to Take, as a Helpful Hint, Might take a Awhile, so Smile.
Good Luck and Welcome to Gag Town. xx

He's your brother so he's going to be naturally protective over you. You need to sit him down and have a conversation with him about it. He probably doesn't want your heart being broken by some guys at school... I don't know.

he needs to learn independence and how to respect your space but you need to learn too, how to confront an issue and how to understand his feelings. just talk to him and good luck

Just explain to him that you need "you time," and that he needs to find his own separate hobbies and interests to get into when you want to be alone/with your mutual friends.

Yes, he needs to respect your space and learn to be responsible about things.
