Narcissist?

posted October 9th, 2015 at 5:01 PM

So I am dating the girl of my dreams. I fell in love with her the moment I met her, and after nearly a year, my love for her has not lessened at all. She is everything I have ever wanted, and my love is fully reciprocated. I am truly the luckiest girl in the world. Now, for my question of whether or not I am a total narcissist. Everyone, and I really mean everyone, we have ever met has asked us "omg are you guys sisters?" or even worse "omg twins!!!" Yes, we look similar. It is incredibly awkward for both of us to admit that we are a couple, not twins for f&%k's sake. I am sooo sick of hearing it, and despite it being a compliment to be told I look like my gf, who I see as the most gorgeous woman in existence, I feel weird about it. Am I full of myself for being so attracted to someone who looks like me?! People have told us both that we must be in love with ourselves. Our personalities are very very similar too. Our clothing styles are identical. So are our career ambitions, our morals, our anxiety issues, everything. More similar than me and my own twin sister...oh did I fail to mention that kicker? The fact that I actually do have a twin? fml. -_-

It's not surprising that people are often attracted to others that feel familiar somehow.
But If I had a new lover I wouldn't want that person to be perpetually associated with a sibling relationship when it's not, add to it the twin comments. I will guess too that you've had an excess of twin attention all your life as it is.
Who'd want it to carry on and on with a girlfriend!

That is a dilly of a pickle. But there are worse things than looking like your lover. Several people commented that an ex of mine looked like a younger version of my dad. *shudder* Loving yourself= masturbation, loving your daddy=incest.

Stop worrying about it

You (we?) have no control over who we fall in love with...it just 'happens'...now sit back and enjoy it for what it is

OP, please read your first paragraph again. I gotta tell ya, if I'd written that first paragraph there would be no reason to worry about anything else in my life. What other people say and think? Nah, wouldn't give two shits about any of that if I was deeply in love. Fuck your life? Damn I'll take it...you got more than I'll ever have.
