I am Australian and I was living in Texas. My wife said, you know, you look a lot like my neurologist. So I decided to see. She was in with her doctor and I came in about 15 minutes later. As I walked through the hospital staff and nurses were say good morning doctor, or, hello doctor have a great day....etc etc. so I got into it a bit. I would say hello to everyone. Finally , I got to the waiting room, where my wife was waiting. She had told her doctor about me, and as he walked around the corner, it was like looking in a mirror. Not only were we identical, but we even had the same beards with the identical cut. We just stood there a few feet apart staring at each other. He then said "It appears that some of my relatives moved from Italy to Australia"......we were both amazed.

I saw my brother's Doppelganger at a Grocery store.he's been dead for 5 years.I had to talk to him. He said he had been stopped many times over the years and people calling him John. I had photos of my brother on my iPhone, and he absolutely freaked out. We instantly became best friends and have been for many years.

[@Harumph-Sez-Moi]

Are they the same age? I’m curious if you were surprised to see a younger or older version of your brother. It’s great that his doppelgänger turned out to be a good guy-he might look like your brother, but there’s always the chance his personality could have been completely different and off-putting.

We started conversing from the moment she entered the door until she left later that night. It was like we were long lost friends! Even more amazing, her and I have a lot of the same mannerisms.

I was in the airport and a sweet grandmother turned and got so excited when she saw me. “I thought you couldn’t come!” And she gave me big hug, I hugged her and assumed she was suffering with dementia- until her middle age daughter turned around. When I explained my name and I wasn’t who she thought, the mother screamed and dropped her bag. Even she couldn’t believe she didn’t know I wasn’t her kid, they were talking so fast! Then “my brother” turned around and “Mom! What are you freaking out about?!” She pointed at me and said she’s exactly your sister!” He rolled his eyes and looked at me, and froze. The three just stood there getting inches from my face.😂 Then the father and grandfather came up and joined the chaos, it was unreal.

In a strange town I walked into a pub. A group of men waved me over, one summoned: "Randy, we've been saving a seat for you." My name is not Randy. So, I sat down next to the one who spoke to me without saying a word, I smiled and nodded at the group figuring that "Randy" would be along soon and that I was in for some fun. One of the men was in the middle of a story when in walks "Randy", an exact doppelganger of me. In shock I turned my head away quickly so that the real Randy wouldn't notice me as he pulled up a chair. Silence struck the group as a I turned and faced them. My doppleganger was speechless. One of the men asked: "Will the real Randy please stand up." Of course, I stood up, but then sat down. Another man said: "Randy, I didn't know that you had a twin brother." The doppleganger said, "I don't know this man." That's when I laughed, broke my silence, and introduced myself. Randy and I looked so much alike that we immediately started comparing notes and soon realized that there was no way that we were related, and yet we were both the same age, build, height, skeletal size, coloring, and both of us have piercing blue eyes. The resemblance was amazing. We live in different parts of the world, so the chances of our paths crossing again are not likely. Still, it's fun to know that there is more than one copy of me circulating.

Our mothers worked in hospitals across the street from one another, and our fathers, on the same military base. We were each one of three siblings. When it came time to choose a highschool in our county, our parents decided to put us in the same one. We ended up being best friends. Most likely because of our circumstances more than anything but who knows. People constantly got us mixed up. Some swore they couldn't tell us apart for nearly 18 years of my life. Some people to this day still ask me if I'm me or her when they see me. It's extremely weird, but it's kinda cool to feel like you grew up as a twin without having the actual struggles of a twin.

I saw my doppelgänger at Disney World. We didn’t look as close as those in the video, but very similar. We sat next to each other in a show. We were the same age, very similar features, same body shapes, same blonde hair, we dressed similarly, and both love Disney. Not only that, we came with our mothers, who were both on scooters. Too bad we live in different states because we probably could have become good friends. (She also had a charming personality just like me. Ha ha)

One day, I was in a hurry to pick my daughter up at school. I was frustrated to see her walking quickly in the wrong direction...I hop out and start yelling her name. She turned and trotted toward me and said, :Oh, hi Charla’s mom! Charla will be out in a minute!” I was just astounded. They were good friends in high school. Her mother was black and her dad white.

I'm from Texas, and I was told by my mother, boyfriend, and father that I had a twin. I've never seen her in my town but she's been in my hometown, the town I lived in. One day at work, a guy tried to holler at me, but I knew he looked strangely familiar, so I declined. When asked why I said I believe we're cousins, I dkw I felt that way. He said I did also. We were 1st cousins, the lady I looked like was my half sister. I met her and took her to my parents, they were shook. That was my so-called twin. Funny part.was her eyes were green, and her dimples were way deeper her complexion was about 5 shades darker, but we looked alike other than that. She belonged to my father, who actually married her mother after I was born. Funny thing was he saw me in her but not her in me. I can't make this ish up.

He got off the bus where I got off. And went to the same store I went to. Never once even noticed how freaked out I was. How? I Keep my eyes down usually on the bus.

We spent 3 weeks together and had great fun tricking everyone. We did not see each other again until we were 57, 50 years later. She is taller, I am shorter, and we still look alike. What was most amazing to both of us and our mothers... Our lives have been parallel. From illness and injury to relationships and education. We had no connection over those 50 years yet our lives were the same... Well I married and she lived-with long-term, but I was raised Catholic and she wasn't so we figured that was a social difference. I just love this stuff!

In the Glitch in the Matrix stories, sometimes people meet a doppelganger who is really from a parallel reality. They almost never succeed in talking to each other. I remember one example where a guy at a family dinner in a hotel goes back to the room he and his parents are staying in, in order to get his phone. In the room, he finds his dad sitting on the bed. He says hello, and the dad nods, but basically ignores him. When the son gets back to the dinner, his dad is there, and had never left. So who was the dad on the bed? There is another one that was even creepier. This woman is going to the dentist and tells her employer that she may not come to work after the appointment, depending on how she felt. After the dental appointment, she calls the office and tells her boss that she won't be coming in. Her boss says "But you were just here." She denies it vehemently, and gets so upset that she goes in to the office. Everyone in the office says that she had been there. There was a cctv camera in the office, so they run it back, at her insistence, and THERE SHE IS on camera. She is wearing different clothes than what she had been wearing earlier, but they were all clothes that she actually owned, outside of the shoes, which she had never seen before. Tell me that isn't weird!

Apparently I looked so much like her that one lady once got miffed that I (to her) avoided her because she and this Sandra were following the same course at night school. She was stunned when I told her my name to find out I was a totally different person. The biggest incident was when somebody pulled me aside and started telling me something about another person I did not know at all, but was a mutual acquaintance of this person and "Sandra". I had to stop her in the middle of the story to tell her I had no clue who she was talking about. I then asked her if she thought I was Sandra and bingo: yes, she, too, was a person who mistook me for her.
