[quote=Anonymous]Not exactly the same situation but my sister and I (NOT twins) look similar enough that people around our hometown rarely got the right name for us when they ran into us without our family. It irritated us both a little but we rarely bothered to correct people when whatever was being discussed wasn’t person-specific. It just took to much effort and embarrassed whoever we were talking to. We had no problem telling people “oh actually I’m the other one” if the situation demanded it. My mother is an identical twin (but one has a distinctive scar from a childhood injury so they are usually only ever mistaken for each other over the phone). They have close to identical hair cuts to this day, but never wore identical clothes because it effectively cut their closet space in half — if you want to encourage individuality, maybe just refuse to buy matching clothes? “Oh, you both like that dress? Great! I’ll buy one and you can take turns wearing it.”[/quote]
