As I sit here and ponder on things, the more I realize different we all are to one another. Our basic makeup is the same, but every single action we have taken in our lives has changed us to a new and truely unique being.
The way I see the clouds, the stars, buildings and art- maybe nobody will ever see them the same way I do. It's unbelievable to me that humans as a species can communicate to one-another at all. To be so different yet finding these commonalities we can discuss is amazing.
BUT.
What if there is another just like me? What understanding could he/she and I reach? What could be accomplish together, with complete trust and total comprehension? Our thoughts would be as one, a true clone of ideals and mental power? Am I strange to believe someone could be so much like me, that it is just a matter of time before I find this one?
I have no way to answer this question, I'm just wondering if anyone else here feels like there is your double somewhere out there, waiting to be found. Or am I truely alone in this world, doomed to make halfhearted connections with other people that cannot ever understand my thoughts, always attempting to break this invisible wall of confusion, trying to get my point across. Is everyone so different from me that I will never be heard?

I think if there was someone with the exact same thoughts as you (if somehow that were possible growing up in different places in the world) that you wouldn't be very productive. You would think of the same things as the other person. He couldn't think of anything that you wouldn't, and vise versa. Thoughts coming from the other wouldn't be new, as you would think of them at the same time...in this situation anyway! Interesting thought though.

On the other hand, maybe the person is just different enough that his thoughts would compliment yours. Everything he thought of would be completely understandable to you. Interesting thought! I want my double to be really good at school or something so he could teach me everything and I would understand super easy!

This is what I was thinking. You don't really want someone who thinks just like you do, in my opinion. You want someone who has their core beliefs aligned with yours, but otherwise has a different outlook on other things, allowing you to broaden your horizons. You learn a lot about yourself from talking out differences.

I have thought before what it would be like to interact with myself, as if I was duplicated. I don't think I came to a conclusion. Either lots would happen and we would accomplish many things, or we would only accomplish what I would normally accomplish by myself. Hmm, I don't have a self-esteem problem, but I think I'd get annoyed with my other self.

My wife and I have personalities which are so similar it is hard for us to get things done. I think more would get accomplished if there were different personality types to feed of each other.

This is a crazy thread when you are tired.

I dunno,.. I mean having two of me would honestly be a little freaky. Come'on guys, imagine TWO of me.. hehehe. Although I must admit, a double would definately be fun to play games with.. My skill level? That'd be the perfect match!... I'd have to counter my own strategy... and with a small amount of thought.. my other me would figure out my strategy. Wow.. that would require lots of thought. Gaming against me self would be super sweet.

If I met another me, we'd probably kill each other.

Ever work with someone who has comparable personality, knowledge, and skill level? I have (computer programming stuff, mainly) and we'd always end up competing with each other, getting in big arguments over how to solve trivial problems, etc. It never worked out.

Charles Dickens felt that everyone had a "twin" in some part of the earth. I think he meant a physical twin.

In my understanding, I feel your pain. I hope I may find someone who understands me one day......I don't expect it though, I know God understands me and that is all that counts

No matter how alike that person would be physically,I don't think it could be mentally.I mean you are who you are because of your life experiences, unless it lived the exact same life I don't think it would be possible.

I found myself once, eating lunch with my old girlfriend , how weird is that? I walked up on the two of them and introduced myself. I said, "Allow myself to introduce myself" LOL

When i look at the stars at night sometimes having a smoke i feel emotional sometimes. I also love to take a smoke in the middle of the night, somewhere i know i dig being alone a lot ,thinking about my ex gf or whatever.

.. sometimes when i go to distanted places real quite i think about objects ,standing there alone makes me emotional. You must think im a paranoid bastard right now teehee.

..in the back of my mind im always hoping i could find a girl who sees things the same as i do.

ARTelevision

Interesting fantasy I suppose.
I don't see any point in it.
Since different points and trajectories through time and space create different "events" or "things" or "people" or whatever - it's unlikely there could be an exact double of anything. I guess one could expend a bunch of time coming up with ways to make it seem possible. But I still don't see any reason to consider it.

Its like Yin and Yang, the total opposite, but you know like understanding of differences more than being the same. Thats how a lot of relationships with friends and such that I have, we all different with similiar qualities, but have an understanding of our differences.

I think my blue socks will look good with my gray suit? Even if they don't ....what are the chances of seeing them anyway. I wonder what my other personality would think?

KellyC

holy crap!! I've been thinkin about this ever since i was a wee lad. I use to think some where out there(the universe), theres another person just like me, think like me, act like me, and doing the exact same thing that i'm doing at the exact same time, like mirror. That would be great if I meet some one like that. The universe would probbably corrupt but oh well.

It is completely possible, but I believe in a different way.

I remember reading a really bad poet and some of his works. I thought he was really good (everyone else thought he was horrid), and the more I read about him in biographies and more I started to think he was very much like me. Only about 715 years older.

Strangely enough, he had a circle friends and ways to waste his time and love, in a very similar way and means as I today.

Months later, one of my friends remarked about the guy, as he was reading a passage from someone else around the same time period.

Turns out the passage he read was from a friend of the bad poet that I had liked, and we found our friendship to be similar to the 715 year olds.

So perhaps there is/was a double of us, but they don't live at the same time. Society and cultures change, but maybe those lives are always around.

But then maybe those guys didn't have a secret suicide word like my friend and I do.
Ha!

I have felt for a very long time that there are other "ME"s. Many of them, in fact, who look just like me- some act just like me, others don't- others are from other periods of time, all from other dimensions of course, on all different levels of consciousness. I feel that I am Everywhere- just as all of Us are- some just can't sense it/know it.
But it really gets down to this: We are all the same underneath it all- we are all made up of the same thing- the same thing that makes up trees, buildings, fire, water, air, this computer. It all stems from one source and that one source is experienced in infinite ways.

I like to think of the whole other "me" as a soulmate. Someone that shares the same interests, understands your feelings, as well as willing to let you learn off them and them off you. With that said I know I have found mine. My fiance and I atm live 800 miles apart. So we spend countless hours in AIM or on the phone talking. Its just amazing of the things that we come up with to shock ourselves. I remember when we first started talking in AIM we freaked each other out just by saying/thinking the same thing at the same time and I dont mean stuff like I love you. I can give you an example. We were sitting listening to Honeymoon Suite, neither one of us at the time new that the other was listening to it. I sent him a tell saying you know this song All Along you Knew? I wonder if thats a real Piccolo or a really good keyboard?. I hit enter and he turns around with a WOW and I was like what, he sends me a tell back saying he is listening to it as well and wondering the same thing and was going to ask me.
I also know with real life twins that they have documented proof that they can feel a lot of the same things that their twin feels. They experience the same things at the same time. If one is hurt the other knows, they have a psychic connection that they can read each others minds. Stuff like that.
Instantances where people have said they or their friends have seen their double, and the possiblitly of mistaken identity has been confronted as well as documented. There are people that swore up and down that someone they saw looked like someone they knew and when confronted whether it be by yelling out their name or walking right up to them they were blown away that it wasnt who they thought it was.
I dont know maybe I m wrong in believing this or wrong for even posting this under this thread. But there are many posibilities for the whole other "ME"
