I am a fraternal twin, and I look nothing like my sister. Every single time we tell people we're twins, people just stare at us and tell us we're lying; but that is only one of the things we hear on a daily basis. We get the same questions all the time and some of them are pretty ridiculous, so here are the answers to those questions.

1. Yes, we are twins and yes we are sure that one of us isn't adopted.

Growing up, even when we were in kindergarten we got this question. It's so disrespectful. You're probably trying to be funny, but just know inside we most likely hate you.

2. Twin telepathy is not a thing.

We don't know what one another is thinking, we can't feel each other's pain.

3. We take how far apart we are seriously.

It sucks having to constantly explain to people that there's 19 minutes in between my sister and I because then they really think that we're lying.

4. Just because we're twins doesn't mean that our personalities are identical.

Just like any other siblings, we have our own interests, likes and dislikes and different friend groups. Having a twin isn't an automatic sentence that you have to like the same things your whole life.

5. We don't dress alike.

My twin and I stopped dressing alike in kindergarten. Fraternal friends aren't two of the same people who don't look alike, we're individuals who like different things.

6. She is my best friend, however we don't do everything together.

We are our own selves, we are interested in different things and we are passionate about different things.

7. Being a twin is amazing.

Although we can't play tricks on people, we do have a special bond that only twins can have.
