A double of you in this world?

[shootingstar]

Over a decade ago, I saw the The Double Life of Veronique, a French-Polish movie that did release with accolades in the foreign film categories.

Movie is based on 2 different lives of women who seem like identical twins, or at least have similar characteristics/personality traits..but take different paths in life. The movie made me wonder occasionally thereafter, about our existence and the path we stumble upon in life while someone else similar to us...is taking a different path parallel to us..but like ships passing at night in this world.

Have you ever met someone that looked like you or mistaken as someone else that looked like you?

I know we are all unique, but I think there are many cases where there is or was a double of us...perhaps in a previous century, in a different country..etc.

I asked this question 5 years ago via another internet forum. A women's. Man, the stories. One woman looked like someone's pyschiatrist. Another woman met the male version of herself.

AND I saw an East Indian version of my partner about 8 years ago in a subway crowd. I nearly freaked out. He had a beard like my partner, etc. but his skin pigment was brown. I nearly ran after the guy to tell him of the double discovery.

One of my sisters does have a "facial" look that could be attributed to several Asian women I've seen on the street.

I knew a woman at work..who whenever she works in Eastern Canadian coast, she gets mistaken by several people. She has a common dark-haired Celtic look in her face, that is probably common.

all I know is that there is someone with exactly the same first, middle and last name.

How about you /any stories? Have you discovered a twin somewhere?
