Were you adopted at a very young age? Perhaps you were adopted but don't know about it.
Do an internet search for "Three Identical Strangers" for a story about triplets separated at birth and adopted by three different families. None of the triplets knew about the existence of the other two.
Perhaps your future holds surprises that you can't even imagine.
That sure would be a mind trip...:)
Funny. If I look at someone now, I cannot even imagine being able to make the connection “That person looks like me”, probably for the same reason that when I look in the mirror, it isn’t an old man looking back at me, but someone younger.
But I wonder if, as a 14 year old, there is something different about the wiring in your brain at that level, because it wasn’t just me staring at him, he was staring at me too!
To this day, I wonder if I had turned around to look back, if he would have been turning around to look as well after we passed!
