1. You are always being compared to each other.
It happens intentionally or not intentionally, externally and internally, both ways. Even your parents can say that some rubbish like your sister/brother calls me 5 times more often than you.
2. You can't be happy for yourself only.
It's because sometimes you worry about the success and achievements of your sibling more than yours.
Your good grade or good job doesn't mean that much until your sibling is in the same boat.
3. It's a disaster when one of the twins didn't manage to separate emotionally from their sibling.
This person can't stand the fact that with years you are not going to be together every minute. You are still the closest people in the world, you are sharing one blood forever, but with years it can't be the same when you used to play in the backyard the whole day until your mom called you for a dinner and then fell asleep on the bunk bed, waiting for tomorrow be the same.
4. Following number 4, the other twin could be very jealous of his or her sibling that they spend some time with other people and not together.
Gosh, I hate this so much.
5. The other twin might have a habit of always controlling the way their sibling does some things.
Whether it's money-saving, singing, swimming, whatever. They are telling me this is caring, I say this is abuse.
6. It was better when we were literally fighting in our childhood.
With the fists and punches. Cause now we are proving any statements with words, and boy they hurt much more than a punch.
Knowing the person from the very first minute you came into this world, gives you access to all their flaws, vulnerabilities and etc. So you know how to hurt your sibling with a single word.

7. Some friends might not like your sibling as much as they like you.
It's still about the constant comparing, you know. But the problem here is that you can't hang out just with your friends, because you can't betray your brother/sister. So very often you sacrifice your happiness as was mentioned in #2.
8. Your sibling very often manipulates your feelings.
Cause you owe him for something he helped you with 10ish years ago.
9. Your twin might be the most intrusive person in your life.
What can I add here additionally?
10. We are mostly different than alike.
Only our look is kinda similar.
So that's why most people try to find a life partner, to share some points of view and be together, they don't live with their siblings, it would be a catastrophe considering all these differences.
