Uncanny Similarities

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not really concerned with whether or not soul-mates exist, although I recognize that many people do have strong opinions on the subject and therefore must find the concept interesting.

What I'm more curious about are the following questions:

1. Have you ever experienced anything like this?

2. What would you do if you found yourself in a situation such as this one? I mean, you'd obviously be very happy, but what would you make of the vast amount of similarities on so many different levels?

I'm curious as to whether aspies might react to uncanny similarities such as what I described in a manner different from the general population, considering that we are generally sensitive to details.

I think it's pretty awesome and would make for a great story if you wrote it down

I would have to say don't look to far into it just appreciate it. The universe provides and all that jazz.

That was one of the most amazing love stories I have ever read on WP.

Aw, thanks! I am planning to turn it into a real autobiographical short story one day when I get done with my current projects (writing papers, recording music).

Anyway, those kind words made my day.

One couple met on WP and got married about 2 years ago.

Aww, well that's both awesome and creepy! XD If that happened to me I'd be like..."YAY!" I'd like that it was a little creepy, for that would make it more interesting.

Some time ago I tried (and failed) to date a woman who is as near a "clone" of me, "twin flame", call it what you like, as I have ever met and far more so than even the dozens of people I know in the Autism community. I had been looking for somebody like that for years, since before I had a name for what I was; I thought I was unique. I wasn't sure that such a person even existed until she showed up. I wonder how many others like us there are?

However, she wasn't as like me as the OP and her BF - that's really odd, though I'm very happy for them both. It's just down to chance though, I guess; as an atheist I don't believe in superstition, but YYMV.

I had that eerie too good feeling in my 1st relationship. We liked a lot of the same TV shows, had similar sense of humor, chatted for hours about pointless stuff, had lots of weird issues in common like dyslexia, ADHD & OCD & there were things about her that I had kind of lost in myself & missed. She was kind of like what I could of been if I was born in her environment, was a girl & didn't have physical disabilities. it felt kind of like she was my little sister sense she was 5 years younger than me. It didn't work out because I had anxiety issues due to my different experiences, got insecure about things, became obsessed, worried about things with her because I felt kind of like a parent with her at times because she didn't have a dad & me being older I was somewhat of a father type figure for her at times, & worrying due to my anxiety issues caused me to get really overprotective & somewhat controlling at times which caused lots of conflict.

Sounds just like me and my late fiance. We used to say that, except for the fact that we were opposite genders, were different ages, and knew that we had no overlapping family history (at least not in the last 3-4 generations), we could have been identical twins separated at birth.

I, too, plan to write our story someday, when I get to the point where his loss is not so excruciatingly painful. I've been talking about doing it since shortly after we met, so I need to make it happen someday....

Even though this is a relatively old thread, it was so much fun for me to read about your experience. Glad this old thread got revived.
