For whatever reasons (including the ones I’m conscious of which are being born much smaller and second), I’ve always tended to see myself as the copy of the original; I mean, first there was just one,

This is such a fascinating window into your world - I'd love to read a similar piece from your sister and see her side!

it would be interesting for sure! - I'll try to ask her if she might write something for me. and then I'll see how she feels about me possibly sharing it. :)

Wow! I never knew identical twins were that connected. Thanks for sharing this. It really amazed me..:)

Wow! This is amazing and you might want to consider writing more about this subject. It's a fascinating one to the "rest of us". :)

I love this! Identical twin experiences are so fascinating! I never considered one might feel like a copy, being the second identical twin, but I can see that. I hope that was more a childhood thing, and less so, now? I'm glad you shared this, great writing. :)

My daughters are fraternal twins and their bond is both familiar and alien to me. I have a sister who's only 18 months younger than me, but they are only 3 minutes different. I always wonder about how many of their Baby A and Baby B differences are attributable to birth order and how many are just variations in the girls. You wrote on an interesting topic for sure!
