My closest friend has a new friend who looks really, really like me

[EleanorWaldorf]

AIBU to feel a bit odd? My closest school friend has moved recently and struck up a good friendship with her next door neighbour. This evening she's posted a FB picture of them both and the resemblance between us is uncanny!

This made me laugh!

Maybe you just look a certain type that seems to be quite common. I have the curse of currently being fat with glasses and there are a lot of us around. I have been confused with a child's mum in pictures as a result. Cringe.

That is probably why your friend wanted to be friends with her in the first place! It must feel weird to see your look-twin in a photo though!

I actually have a close friend that looks very like me. We are constantly getting mistaken for one another in the street and when we are at parties people assume that we are related in fact we almost look like twins....it's weird really isn't it?!

Yes, I looked at her post and thought "I don't remember taking that!" Definitely weird.

She likes you too much to to make a waistcoat out of your skin.
