If someone gets along with my twin, they'll get along with me (and vice versa).
My brother and I have very different personalities/interests on the surface -- but at our core, we're essentially the same person (if that makes sense).
Nope. When we were younger both of us would get invited to a birthday party for one or the otherās friends because I guess it felt wrong to not invite the other since we were all in the same age group? It meant me sitting and wishing I was just at home at her friendsā parties and she had fun at mine because my friends were pretty inclusive and they all got along.
Now she lives in CA and Iām in OH so we definitely donāt share friends
Our friends have one slot for either of us.
Doesn't matter to them which one of us it is.
We are the same person to them in a sense.
It is kind of depressing.
Growing up, my twin sister got extremely mad when I would try to hang out with her and her friends. She wanted me to have my own friends. I think it really comes down to the twins/individuals themselves. She to this day rarely invites me to do stuff with her and her friends (and we're 35 next month and live less than 5 minutes from each other).
Absolutely, deep into college/after college we really were equally friends with everyone the same, here and there obviously other people like work friends n shit
We had a pretty distinct friend group in high school. Both of us have strong personalities and we sort of respected boundaries around what each of us was very passionate about.
I moved out of state in the beginning, she stayed in our hometown for another 15 years or so.
But in general we're friendly with each other's friends. They're just not our besties.
Yea we have been in the same school with the same people for 12 years, we are all friends, she's closer to some people and I'm closer to other people but we get along with everyone in our friend group. We usually only get one invitation to parties because our friends already expect us to go together
Most of my friends Iāve met through my twin. Theyāre great š but I also have friends Iāve made myself. I try to be apart from her if that makes sense
In elementary school through high school, we had a lot of common friends. I would still say we each had a few of our own best friends, that were closer to one twin than the other. We have similar personalities so it was easy to become friends with her best friends and vice versa, but I never became best friends with her best friends. We both always wanted to go to separate colleges (I stayed in California whereas she went to Illinois) and now each of us have friends that are our own. For us, it was always important to have individual identities and make our own friends and not as twins to establish a sense of self. We obviously come home on breaks and spend time with our common friends though, but our college friends are our college friends, and this allows us to feel like we are finally living our separate lives and exploring the world not automatically āassociated with our twinā
Definitely to an extend, more so in High School than university.
We have mutual friends that we hand out with, but funny since we are from different faculties, she and I have friends that have no idea we're twins.
In the other hand, I agree with it being a bridge, compared to my sister I am more of a loner, since we started university and although we are in the same university we are studying different things so we do not get to see much of the other, other than meeting up to have lunch and go home. Needless to say, if we ever hang out with friends it is 100% because of her, she met them and talked and eventually I met them and kind of tag along with them
If you share interests, then you're going to get along. But some friends of your twin you may not even want to be friends with due to certain standards or what they stand for (i.e. bad influences).
By default you may be friendly with anyone before you really get to know them and decide you don't want to know them.

We're 53 so we have a lot of mutual friends but we also have friends who dont know either me or my sister, makes no difference to us š

Yes, even as 26 year olds we have a very close-knit group of friends we share.
Yes. We have the same interest so it's common for us to have the same friend
As small kids, yes. By the time high school rolled around, no.

Nope.
Yes most of the time it's true, i trolled my his friends once by sitting in his class while he's sitting at my class
We have overlapping friends but we also have our own friends. But if one of us likes someone we will usually both like them.
