I joined a few days ago,on a traffic site.
I saw a photo and I exclaimed
"Why is my mom on this site?"
I studied the picture carefully and likeness is striking.
I called my mother(I did not say why)
I put the picture on the monitor and followed several minutes of silence
Age difference exist but the attitude and physique is strikingly similar
you ever seen someone who looks exactly like you or like a person well know?

That is so freaky! They say that we have a twin somewhere out in the world.
My hubby and I were doing some grocery shopping and this man came up to us and told my hubby that there was a guy that he use to work with that was a splitting image of him. He actually though my hubby was his co-worker.
Take care

Hi nixxi: I have to say that this is a weird experience. It reminds me the novel "The Double" by José Saramago, it's a really interesting story about a teacher that finds its double who is an actor but then they realize that only one of them will survive because two equal person should not live. I recommend you this book. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hi cip: I think this is a very strange situation even if it's not that weird. It's normal that existing millions and millions of human beings at least there must be someone that looks exactly like you. When I walk on the streets I sometimes look at the persons that are near me and I try to imagine if they look like someone else. I can tell you that sometimes you're surprised after finding some similarities with someone you know or with a famous person. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day.

Ya, I have been in situations like this. In my school, there were two girls who looked too similar. Whenever they both were in front of me, I can identify them, but seeing one of them alone, I usually got to be confused. They were too similar that I just can't differentiate. And yes, they were not relatives of each other and that was the thing which made me wonder.

Wow she really looks like your mother!
This has happened to me a few times. It's really bizarre when you find someone that resembles you or someone you're close to. A couple of years ago my school had a camping trip with a few other schools and each school had a group of kids that were a bizarre reflection of us haha.

There can be seven people looking like you in this world. This is a popular saying and I don't believe this until last year. Then, I met a girl in the market who looks exactly like one of my friend's wife and to my surprise her voice also was the same. In my surprise, I phoned my friend who lives in a farthest city and he made me speak to his wife. That was really astonishing.

yes! She was really surprised to learn that she had a duplicate. But that really was not possible as I missed that girl in the crowd and never see her again in the town. She might have been from some nearby town. But that was really wonderful to see closely resembling but different people.

No i never seen a person who likes me or like my parents or any member of my family member. But i saw some person who wear same dress like me or talked like my father.
Or any other similarity. But not exactly whole similarity.
It never happened with me yet.

During my high school days there is this guy who looks a lot like me. But he's a lot bigger. So I called him big bro. I now have no idea what happened to him. But it feels weird that someone looks really the same as you.

I have just looked at the photos and you are correct there is a very striking resemblance between your mother and the other lady!!
People do say that we all have a double out there somewhere, I find it difficult to believe that there could be two people with an ugly mug like mine

yeah.. i checked the photo and they really do look a like.. probably she's you're mom's long lost sister lol...
well, they say that we have several similar faces in the world...
anyway, i have a lot of people telling me i look a lot like this local celebrity... even cab drivers would say so.. i dont know, i cant tell if we do really look alike..
anyway, the only person i know that looks like me is my mom.. i saw this picture lying somewhere in our house when i was a kid.. i thought it was my mom's graduation picture... until i realized that if its her picture it should be in back and white.. turned out it was me when i was 6... my grad pic from kindergarten.. lol

Well, they say everyone has a "double" somewhere in the world - a "Doppelganger". I haven't seen anyone who really looks like me, but I have had some people say "Oh, you look so much like my sister" (or friend or whatever). There was a girl I chatted to online and her husband looked very like my husband, which was funny.

Oh... I have had such an experience in my school time.. We had moved to a new city... And in my class, one boy looked exactly like me... Strikingly similar! Some people still have problem differentiating between us... We have become best friends over the years and whenever we are together, people assume the we're twins... LOL

Hi cip116, I have had a close watch at the attached photos and agree that the two of them look exactly the same in appearance. just like a pair of twin sisters. No wonder you would feel amazing when you come across the picture of Rose on the said site.
I have learnt from articles saying normally there are six or so in the different parts of the world having the same appearance. I believe this after recalling that many of my frienfs told me, there was another lady in the adjacent town having the same appearance as me many years ago. I was amazed to see the photo of her later. I wondered if she was my twin sitter then
Another case was I had seen a wild animal triner in the bird show performance while visiting a zoo. I was shocked to see the guy having the same look as one of my office mate. Since then I believe that there are people with the same appearance in this planet.
Happy posting

they really look the same.
there is an incident in our country in which our newly elect president has a look alike. during the election day, a man was mobbed in a polling precinct cause the people thought that he was then, the presidential candidate. the look alike was also wearing the shirt that is usually worn by our newly elect president when he was still campaigning. then, he just said that he just looks like him and that he is hust an ordinary citizen there to vote too.

Maybe she's a long lost sister! XD My friends told me several times that they saw this girl who looks exactly like me but she's not me. IDK. Just think about the resemblance of maria ozawa to angelica panganiban! XD Maria if japanese, angelica is filipino, totally different! XD
Or maybe it really is your mom's photo and someone uploaded and used it. Creepy.
