But not even him because he's a triplet.

Being a kid twin and growing up. It's hard and nobody understands.

if you'd like us to stop misunderstanding you, then please feel free to explain the complexities of twin relationships to us. that's a better solution that making statements and then defending them by saying "you're not a twin so you obviously can't understand us"

So....

I had like 3 friends that got engaged on Valentine's Day.

...ugh, it's just...it's so weird thinking about how people my age are already getting married...

Of course, my parents were only a year older than me when they got married....
My high school friend of mine (first one) got engaged about a year ago and invited everyone from our friend group except me to the hens night so I'm pretty damn pissed about that.

Okay.

Imagine somebody that has been part of your entire life, beginning with your mother's womb. This person shares your beliefs, your interests, and several aspects of your personality, and he's the same age, and he looks almost like you. Remember, what are the basis of close friendships? Similar interests. Except this relationship is another level. You feel intense brotherly love for this person, and you feel like he's almost an extension to you. You and your brother constantly support each other, like you and him are mentors. You two are okay with sharing your beliefs. You are the other's parent and vice versa. When school first starts, separating you and him is painful, and when he's gone, you think of them, when you two will get together again, and you feel alone. He's the only person that understands you, and both of you have developed so much inside jokes, talking with other people may be awkward.

The worst thing that can ever happen is when your brother is separated. Your brother is dead, he's forced to live in other country for years, etc. When he's gone, you think only of him, and you want to contact him. Or, your brother is going through misery. Since he feels like an extension, when he is miserable, you feel miserable. You are incredibly empathetic, and you understand what is going on with him very well.

An identical twin is akin to having a best friend always there with you, but it's extremely close, almost like a clone.
 
^Well said

It's the closest description of how being a twin is like.

It's intense sisterly love, but it's still love.

oh wow ok

...

so it's basically like having a very, very best friend who you're overly attached to and you can't let them go. or at least in your case.
 
I wouldn't call it "overly attached", I would just say deep dedication or something. Remember, this relationship is one of the closest out there. I feel closer to my twin than to anyone else in this world.
 
okay yeah there's nothing wrong with deep dedication, but what your sister is describing makes it seem like you guys wouldn't be able to function if you were separated for a while
 
The longest I've been without my sister is about a week and it already feels bad enough.
 
Yeah I agree. People always say that we shouldn't live to be inter-dependent of each other, including my parents. It makes us socially awkward at points where I don't even realize it, and my distrust of others partially stems from my deep connection to my twin.

okay first of all, that's your experience with twins. i'm sure many people have similar experiences, but that doesn't mean all twins feel the exact same bond you do.

second of all what you feel is very similar to romantic love. well, i mean, it's sibling love, but i'm just trying to explain to you what other people feel with romantic love

yeah i was kinda thinking the same thing
 
I dunno, whenever I think of romantic love, I think of kissing and dates and like, having a significant other. It's similar yes, but I wouldn't call it the same.
 
that's not what love is all about (or at least what it shouldn't be all about)

love is about finding someone who in everything they do makes you just feel happier for no apparent reason. the kind of person who you could spend the rest of your life with and never, ever grow tired of. the kind of person who you just feel a magical connection to, who you can't stop thinking about, who you would be willing to sacrifice anything for.

i realize this is a personal definition and everyone's definition of love is different, but maybe this helps
 
Well, I don't know about the "finding" part since my twin has been with me all my life. So yeah. It's true I love her way more than I love any other person in this planet.

aww
Anyways I have no siblings but I imagine it must be nice to have one with common interests esp. GAMING
 
Sometimes, we have no idea how lucky we are

Granted, it backfires when it comes to social life but in general, we are envied because of that.
 
It's better to have someone to do stuff with, even if it is a sibling and no non-relative friends, then have no one at all as is my case.
 
I didn't even realise it was Valentine's Day until the day afterwards. oops.

I went on a school excursion to talk about the holocaust that day. I don't think I did anything else, it isn't really all that important of a day in my eyes.

I guess for couples it's a special day but just from my point of view, the 14th of February being given a special name doesn't actually change anything about it. This coming from the guy who doesn't think of his birthday as anything important though, my opinion is immediately invalidated because I'm a horrible person.
