Teen boy calls out twin brother for copying him since birth, which disallowed him from being his own person for 16 years: ‘I literally had no space to develop my own personality away from him’

Folks always talk about how much they'd love having a twin if they could. While it may be a novelty—you know, having another half of you that hung out in the womb with you for nine months—it definitely isn't all sunshine and rainbows. How do you differentiate yourself from them? Can you manage to be your own person when you have someone who looks just like you, following you around since birth, never allowing you to grow on your own? Having a twin like this isn't always the case, but it definitely happens. One half of a twin pair explains that in this next story.

They've been stuck together like glue since they were babies. No matter what activities the twin who posted this story tried to get into, his brother followed suit every time. It makes sense. If you've spent your entire life with someone, and you haven't fully developed your own sense of self, figuring out who you truly are might instill a special kind of fear in you. However, the twin believes that's not his problem, which also makes sense. What would you do in this situation? Scroll below to read the full story.
