30 Wholesome Experiences And Advantages Of People Who Were Born Twins That You Might Be Curious About
What can twins do that other siblings can't?
Have you ever experienced having a twin sibling or friend? Did you have difficulty determining who is who?
Every year, approximately 1.6 million twins are born around the world, according to BBC News as of 2021. This number has tripled since the 1980s.
This increase is attributed to heredity and other factors such as age, race, and ovulation. The latest factor is in vitro fertilization (IVF), a procedure performed by healthcare professionals to help couples conceive children.
Given how twins are perceived, people cannot help but wonder how they manage their daily lives. Having been together since the beginning of their lives, there are also assumptions about their abilities that other siblings do not possess.
This curiosity inspired a Reddit user named OnidaKYGel to create a trending post that garnered more than 44,000 upvotes and 5,000 comments. Redditors were just as intrigued as this user to learn how identical twins navigate life.
Their twin stories range from pulling off pranks and getting away with trouble to having an exclusive form of communication, all of which make their lives distinct from those of other siblings. You can scroll down to discover how being twins has made their lives easier, and their fun adventures might make you wish you had a twin as well.

Indeed, these stories make them special. They share a unique connection and bond with each other that amazes and intrigues people.
However, their similarities do not mean that they lack their own identities. Even though twins may have the same physical features, they differ in aspects such as personality, behavior, hobbies, interests, and other traits that set them apart from one another.
