I recently got to know a female colleague who share the same birthday as I am. To me that's pretty amazing as I've had dozens perhaps hundreds of colleagues ever since I started working. The last time I knew one was a year or two after I graduated. But, no matter how much I've tried I've found it hard to get along with any. Our likes, dislikes and opinions usually differ. And I always thought there could be a mistake in both their birth dates. Hehe... I'm quite certain now that they both do not share a lot of the same attributes as mine. That's OK to me. But, not when they are both stubborn.

hello tomitomi,
Nice discussion.
I found one of my friend here on mylot sharing my date of birth. Not the year , but month and date. I think his natural qualities are very much like mine. Since we both live in different countries, I cannot say how much we are similar in likes and dislikes, but from the exchange of mails, I have found him very similar to my emotional understanding.Well,
what you are saying is also possible.You see this calender of dates is created by human beings, so it is not necessary that everything as per these dates should be similar.I think each one has his or her own personality. Dates have nothing to do with it. I am happy that you are not like those two.....Have a nice day.

Hi apsara!
Thank you! I was like them too actually but I've mellowed since my first child was born. They have not! So I just can't stop thinking there's a mistake in their birthdate. Or is it mine? Hehe...
You have brought out a good point here! And you are never far from the truth. Eventually, we are what we make it out to be. 'Dates have nothing to do with it.' I love this concept!
You have made it out to be! Thank you so much for sharing! It has been a great learning experience. Have a nice day too! Take care! :)

Yeahh I meet a person that has the same birth date with me. She is my true real friend. She is our landlady before when I was renting in their house and turns out she no longer accepts payment from us. I live and stayed with them together with her family for free. Free food and all the bills. Of course I know how to share, I buy foods for us and share it with them
We both have the same level of stubbornness, that is why she just let me have my own way because she know that I am also stubborn. When it comes to career wise, we always find comfort zone. We both have the same understanding when it comes to family and friends. Just that she is so frank and I am not.
She is outgoing and I am a typical home buddy person. If am going to weigh everything in all aspect of life, our similarities is much more compare to our differences.

Hi ada8may!
I really enjoyed reading your experiences. I'm quite amazed too how you both manage your differences. I guess a little difference is good though with you both having lots of similarities. Again, the way you two got along so well matter, isn't it? Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you much and you enjoy reading it. I can say that we get along, even if she is so frank and since I am living with her I get used to her frankness.
Just her my friend.

Hi antony2best!
While you may personally not know anyone who share the same birth date with you, I'm sure you are proud to have shared it with celebrities and saints. While you don't look like a saint to me I'm not denying that you would be able to become one. And your avatar certainly looks to me a celebrity!
Thank you so much for sharing! Have a nice day! :)

Yes, I have met several people with the same birth date as I have. I also know several celebrities with my birthday. I find it funny that I do not gravitate to them. In fact, I usually find them bossy. But I think that's how they probably think of me too, so now I am more forgiving to them.

Hi TheAdvocate!
You and everyone else here seem to be so lucky to have met a few with the same birth date. While I would love to, I don't think I want to, unless of course I don't have any choice. It's great to learn something from you here and to learn something about you too! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a nice day ahead! :)

I know 2 people who have the exact same birthday
One was my classmate from way, way back and we moved the same way, looked the same way and acted the same way. only difference was our choice of sports. He was into volleyball i was into karate and swimming.
He's a microbiologist now and i'm in management.
i play the guitar he doesn't.
the other person i'm talking about is actually my agent.
needless to say we are very different. She's very hot tempered and i try to suppress my anger by joking.
hmmm i wonder who else.... boop boop be doo wah

Hi chipesterkhan!
I can see how you manage your anger so well. And as I write this I'm smiling very wide. Keep it up!
Your experience with your classmate is pretty amazing though. If only you two could have swopped something, not sure what but whatever it was, you would have been a microbiologist and he's in management. Hehe... Glad you are not like your agent, at least, you know how to manage your anger.
Great! Thanks for sharing!!! :)

I never personally met but know some people having same date as mine. Our thinking patterns match for sure. Likes/dislikes... well i don't know them personally, so...
I once read in a group of 23(or something like 23)people, two are bound to have same birth date...

it is more fun on my side. cause when it's our birthday, she treats everyone. and when we should both spend for it, she shoulders everything since she earns more than me.

I've known a few who shared the day/month but no-one the same year. There are 2 years between a good friend and myself and I suppose we share the fact that our children are the most important parts of our lives and that we are both quite emotional but, some people would put that down to being Cancerians I suppose. My friends dad was easy going with a sense of humour which I think ties in but the other woman I knew was quite bossy - & I'm not. Recently, there was a patient on our ward who shared the day/month and I dont think I'll ever be as sweet as she was.

Hi Wizzywig!
Great to have seen all these similarities and differences in them. I feel that as long as you get along with them that matters. I've only met 2 and my experiences with them have not been that good. I've yet to meet one with the same day/month/year but I don't think I would like to. Thanks for sharing! :)

Hi,
Very good discussion. In my college days one of my class girl had same birth date as me but year was different. I dont know much about her because didnt spend too much time with each other.To know each other sharing thoughts is necessary. According to me if two people are sharing same birth date doesnt mean should have same nature. This is just my thought.
Regards

hi,
yes you are right, i was glad to have met one. And even i belive that nature of person always depends upon his/her surroundings.

Yes when i was 10 years old this girl moved in next door to us and we not only shared the same birthday (and birth year) but we also had the same name!! It was like fate we thought! Though we were a lot alike, and kinda looked a like to (as in dark hair, dark eyes, etc) we did have a little difference between us. We were kinda like the dark and night version of the same person. She was more the rebel while i was the "lets do our homework" kid. But theres always been a pull between us and we've been besties ever since our young age.

Yes I have a friend and we share the same birthday. We met in college. We became friends with a cricket match played between our batch and a senior batch. He did a marvelous run out to one of the opponent team batsman. I appreciated that one and I liked the fielding very much as I was the captain in that match. Since that day we became very good friends. Later I came to know that he is also sharing the same birthday as me. In the current date he is my best friend. And our friendship will last till we are alive.

Yes, tomitomi, I've met several ones whose birthdays are same as mine. Some of them are completely same - that means we were born on the same day in same year. But someone were born in different year. Anyway, it's amazing and interesting.
I just remember one guy who is my good friends' husband. When we have dinner together, we talked about birthday, what a coincidence! We were born on the completely same day. Then we compared who is elder. In China, we also do this. How pity he is elder than me - he was born in the wee hours of the day. And we also have nothing in common.
But it's quite fun!

Sharing the same birthday does not mean people most likely have similar characteristics. I was born on the same day as a president of a country. I am glad I am nothing like that president. I don't believe in astrology, zodiac signs or those Chinese years... Birthdays are for thanking God for the blessing of life.

I haven't met anyone with my same birthday, or at least anyone who's still alive or at least was on the last century... I know of two people that had the same birthday as I do and both were great: Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. I can't tell I if share some attributes with them, I would like to think I do but I really can't compare with them.
And what's my birthday? Well you have homework to do :P

Hi tomi..I have indeed met many persons who have the same birth date as mine . But only some of them have similar characters..rest of them were totally different from me . Even the great football player Andrei Arshavin has the same birth date as mine . I think that we both match a lot . He is a naughty boy,both off the field and on the field which makes me feel like him . But i don't think that this is always true. This is just a co-incidence . There is nothing like that in my opinion . HAPPY mylotting and have a nice day !

Hi lightknight!
Wonderful to have met a lot who share your birth date. And an honor to share it with a great football player like Andrei ARshavin, isn't it. And you are never far from the truth too. At the end of the day it's us who make it out to be. You have certainly made it to be yours! Thanks for sharing!

I met one during college, we belonged to the same block. We shared the same birth date, right down to the year. She's a girl, I'm a guy. I would say we have some qualities in common (I guess you can say the same for almost everybody you meet), but overall we're quite different. We're both reserved and quiet among strangers, but among friends I'm more upbeat and talkative. She though remains the same. Not saying that's a bad thing, just pointing out the differences.
Now that I think about it, I still remember my birthdays spent at school, then remembering having to greet her too. Kinda surreal, but fun in some ways.
Plus I share the same birth date as Britney Spears, same year too. I would like to think we don't have much in common, but lately I've been going a bit crazy, so I might be wrong there. Haha.

i've never met a person with the same birthday but with the same month.
i've noticed some of the same personality traits but nothing weird or anything. i guess their easy to get along with. actually i'd like to have someone with the
same personality traits
