No matter what happens, they're never alone in the world.

It's also the reason that LOSING a twin sibling can have a huge and permanent psychological effect on the surviving twin. I remember watching a docu about the "twins of the twin towers". There were 4 or 5 "ex-twins" who had their twin die in the attack and had made a support group. It was fascinating really. They talk about it being like being half a person, even several years later.

Absolutely right and also if being.below average intelligence means dealing with an aggressor like equal.adult Nicola, how the Twins do,then I'll happily take below average intelligence anytime.

However they are far from being below average intelligence, in fact someone who cannot control their temper, particularly in public, is more likely to be.
