Sometimes I think we are born with a double. About a year ago, I was in the grocery store when I noticed this lady in line that looked exactly like my cousin. I said hello and then realized it was not her. I was so embarassed, but that lady looked so much like my cousin. I also had an aunt that died in 1995. Well a few years ago one of my other aunts was at an event and she told me she saw a lady there that looked exactly like my aunt that died in 1995. It really creeped her out. Has something like this ever happened to you before?

Some people believe each one of us has a doppleganger, an unrelated person somewhere out in the world that looks just like us. I've never met mine. However I did have an experience once where I was at a concert and someone came up to me and started to talk to me as if they knew me. I must have looked a lot like someone they knew!!

A few years ago, I was in Best Buy with my sister and brother-in-law Christmas shopping when a man took me by the arm. I was pretty freaked out until the man, embarrassed, told me I must have a twin in a nearby city because I looked just like a friend of his!!

In this same Best Buy works a guy who looks just like my best friend's husband (but they're in California and I'm in Ohio). Life is strange, isn't it? :lol:

If I do, I'm sure she's much more successful than I am.

I've had a couple of people tell me that I look like someone they knew or had worked with.

I've heard we have a double somewhere in the world. I have never met mine and someone told me years ago they saw someone who looked exactly like me. It's kind of weird.

Oh definitely, I've had alot of people tell me I look like a woman who works at a Bob Evans in the same town I live in

Also a woman I used to work with her husband looked exactly like my uncle who passed away in 1996, it was eerie

i think if there were just one person out there who looked just like us, it wouldn't be so common for us or people we know to find them. it's too big of a world.

I also had a situation like this.

Several years ago I was needing a hair cut and I decided to go to this salon I had never been to before in town.
I walked in the door the hairdresser turned around and said "Well what are you doing here?"

I said well I came for a hair cut then she said "Oh my gosh your not my brother are you!"

I said nope and she proceeded to tell me how I looked just like him enough that I could be his twin.


That was really wierd I'll never forget it though.

There is a guy in my area that must be a double for my husband. People are constantly coming up to him thinking that he is this other person. Which makes us wonder. You see, his mother divorced a his father (whom he never met) when he was a year old. So we are thinking that this double could be a long lost brother or cousin or something.
Also my son and my husband's nephew are always getting mistaken for each other. They look very much alike but of course my son is the better looking of the two!;)

I ALWAYS DO.... I AM VERY FRIENDLY (WHEN IM IN PUBLIC AS YOU DONT KNOW WHO YOU MIGHT BE TALKING TO!! -- I only speak the truth ONLINE where no one knows who anyone is (feds,etc))


Why is it wrong to be nice to those you dont know??? -- ITS NOT,ITS CALLED BEING LOVING AND CARING :)


We are all related in this world,time to start acting like it :)

I've had 3 different people tell me they saw someone who looked just like me:

One of my sisters, and her daughter thought they saw me at Walmart.

A friend of mine thought he saw me at an FYE store in Texas.

Another friend thought they saw me at a mall while they were visiting the Philippines.

My brother-in-law has a double in our town that I've seen in Walmart a few times. It's so strange to see someone who looks that much like him.

Are We Born With A Double?
The only way I could have a "Look-alike" out there would be if my parents (both mother and father) gave a baby away for adoption.
BTW, nobody is an exact look alike except for identical twins.

I swear I saw my double dancing in the background on some tv commercial. It was so long ago that I don't even remember what the commercial was for, but I remember thinking, "Whoa! That guy looks like me!"
I didn't think to delve into it too much at the time though, thinking that I would just see the commercial at other times and I can review it more closely then. But then I never saw the commercial again and forgot about it.
