Do Identical Twins have the same Emotions?
The fact that identical twins are two different people surprises a lot of people. There is a general assumption that because identical twins share the same DNA, they are carbon copies of each other. Trust me, there is no such thing as identical. Identical twins share the same DNA – it’s not identical DNA, by the way – but once the egg splits, each twin develops on their own. Identical twins develop their own personalities, character, likes and dislikes, hobbies, and emotions just as any other siblings do. They may share some very similar traits, but each twin is their own individual person. It’s fun to watch our own boys as they grow and develop. One likes broccoli, the other prefers green beans. And if you give them cheese and crackers – one will eat the cheese, the other the crackers.
