Hello,

I have found that I have a very difficult time feeling secure with two friends, who are twins. I find that I question our relationship and question whether or not they enjoy my company. Looking from a logical point of view, they obviously enjoy my company, because they spend time with me, right? But even though it logically makes sense, I still feel this way. What do I do?

It can be easy to feel insecure about spending time with friends who are so close to each other, as most twins are, just because they have that close bond with each other and you are naturally excluded from it. That can be awkward, but it doesn't mean that they don't value your friendship. Maybe it would be easier for you to sometimes do things with one of them instead of both together? If you don't have that insecurity in your other relationships, just remember the unique nature of your friendship with these twins and try not to take it personally.

That is a very interesting situation. I would imagine that the twins feel this too, from their point of view, and it affects many of their relationships with others.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
