Top 5 most hated questions
“ Which one is the good twin versus bad”
This one right here…. makes our skin crawl. Let’s break this thing down so that it can forever be broken AND never asked again might we add.
If we analyze what we are truly asking siblings to do here we find that this is not only problematic but destructive. This question compartmentalizes the attributes of each person into two boxes, good or bad. Now we all know that no one is truly ALL good nor ALL bad. As young children, twins are asked this question all too often, but do we ever account for the damage this brings to the differences ( even identical twins have their differences guys) the pair possesses?
2. ” Can you feel each other’s pain”.
Guys, twins are humans… not aliens
No. If my sister is punched in the face, I can’t feel that and honestly don’t want to have that kind of power lol. For clarity, I will say that twins have a higher awareness of sensing something is off with their sibling due to the connection from birth. It’s like a married couple who have been together for an extensive number of years. They can look at each other and tell when the other is annoyed, sad, or lying lol. Twins share this same quality!
3. You are not like your twin
Toxic….simply toxic.
This one is one of our most DREADED things to hear. First of all, this idea of vocalizing an obvious difference that you may not agree with and tying it to this statement is a just a big, fat, NO. Let’s lay this rude ass statement to rest once and for all. Identical twins have the same genetic makeup BUT that does not include personality nor gifts. Again, stating differences in statements like the above can be quite damaging, not to mention rude.
4. Who’s the oldest ?
( insert eye roll )
Ok, granted there are special circumstances in which this question deserves an answer.. but honestly, the public is more fascinated with this aspect than twins are. Channel and I for the record are 3 mins apart but this as a distinguishing marker for us carries no weight at all.
5. Identifying, aloud we might add differences, in physical appearances
Just no… we NEVER want to hear this aloud.
We see each other day in and day out. It is more than fair to say that we notice all the physical changes especially as we age. Even though we are twins, there are other factors that causes differences in our appearance. These changes, do not lessen the fact that we are identical twins, this is the biology. These changes simply makes us more distinguishable. See where we are going with this one?
