Do you think everyone has a twin in the world?

My mother once told me that in this big world everyone has a twin. I am not sure if she meant it figuratively or literally. A few weeks ago I saw a little girl that looked just like me when I was a child. It was spooky. A few years ago, I conversated with someone who shared many mutual interests and even experienced many things that I have. Has anyone else come across this?

That must have been confusing for everyone. I would probably been amused at first but then would have gotten frustrated. I wonder if they have ever gotten mistaken for you!

Yes I believe everyone has a twin. I see random people that look like people I know. I've never seen my own twin I think that would freak me out to see someone who looked very similar to me but other people have told me they've seen people that look like me.

Yes it is a very shocking experience. When I saw the little girl that looked just like me I was speechless. Then I was curious about her. I wish I would have approached her parents and had a conversation with her.

No i don't think that everyone have twin in the world. Though some exception we can see but exception couldn't be a example.I know some people have similar face but i don't think so that all people have. And i never across this so i don't believe this. And i couldn't find any good logic about this matter. Have a good time!

I think this is true. I've always heard the phrase and I've been a witness before. But apparently I have more than one look a like, because i'm constantly told that I look like some they know. But I did find my sisters twin, I found my mothers twin. So things like this do happen. Literally they don't look exactly alike, but they typically favor in a lot of ways. btw, very interesting topic. Which I thought of it first lol good job!

You must have been very surprised to find your mother and sisters twin. Maybe one day you will find yours! I am glad to see that other people believe there is a twin out there for everyone. I thought I was the only one.

Hey guys. I have actually never met anyone looking quite like me. It is a big world out there and there are a lot of people. There are bound to be a lot of people looking a lot like me. But i belive a lot of this can be atributed to the strange phenomenon of the doppelgänger.

Good day. I believe the word twin refer as your siblings that grows with you together in the womb in your mother as the same time. Twins have many types. but I believe that we can see people in other places that is similar likes us.

Yes twin is another child carried by your mother at the same time. But just like we are genetically similar to rats and monkeys I believe there are people who are so genetically similar they favor each other because of it. They either look very similar or act very similar.

Hi. zukichucha. Yes, this is true. My husband, my father-in-law and brother-in-law, plus my uncle have told me that they saw a female that looks just like me. But it wasn't me. They swore to me that the person looked just like me. My husband even took a picture of a female that he claimed looked just like me. She was very pretty though. I guess she favored me in a way by her facial features. I also have seen a guy that looked just like my step brother in Walmart last year. I mean he was the splitting image of my brother. But he was not my brother, it was someone else. This guy was in a wheelchair though.

Hehe.. Well, some of my the friends that i met when i was in my college internship told me that i looked exactly the same as one of their friends, in fact character wise too. That was funny, but i never really thought there could be any virtual twin of me somewhere in this world but yes there can be very similar people and that is quite interesting in itself. Having a twin somewhere, now that would make things much more exciting. I can't imagine what that person would be doing now and how funny would it be meet one such person who looks and acts the same way as we do.

It is said that twins whether they are fraternal or identical share many interests. I have even heard of stories of separated twins living similar lives as far as job choice and even marrying girls with the same name or having the same amount of children etc. It would be cool if we had spiritual twins that go through similar experiences that we go through. At least we would know that we are not the only one that has been through something or reacts to something in a certain way!

Hiya zuki, Believe that we probably have as I have been "seen" in other parts of the Town or in my Home Country England more than once before. I said you have mistaken me for someone else but they insisted it was you I saw looked exactly like you everything about you too. Although I believed them it did seem spooky to me as well. I don´t what or how that works so it must be true to some extent.

I do believe in that. In my place there is a saying that in this world there will definitely be 7 others who will be looking somewhat similar to us. I have heared from few of my friends saying that they saw someone who looked like me. And they mistook them to be me from distance. It is interesting to hear such things.

Gosh if I have a twin I feel really sorry for the twin having to live in my shoes, lol.. I have actually encountered a couple people in my life time that I swear I was looking in the mirror. As a child I had heard this was true and having seen with my own eyes I do believe human creations to a sense is like a recycle process.

Well I think or I fancy that everyone has a TWIN SOUL or a soulmate. But only a few people get to meet they're twin. So if you have met yours you should be thankful. You are very lucky friend. :)

I heard this theory once as well, but I don't think it can be true, but it sure would be fun if it was! :)
