Of a curious nature
Category: Oddity, Relations

A few days ago, I met made a new friend online. While we were chatting, I found an uncanny similarity between her and me. In this community, I only know maybe two three Muslim web designers (Leo, Mika, Asha) and barely any Indians. But not only is she a designer, she’s also around my age group, Muslim and Indian. We both share a like for henna, have lived/or live in the same neighborhood, aspire for the same profession, and have the same number of siblings and sibling hierarchy. Even her birthday is a day away from mine.

And this was not where I offered information and she reiterated. In fact, it was the other way around. I had long stopped saying “Ooo me too” because it sounded fake even to me despite the fact that it was the truth.

And while I love being able to relate, I don’t know if I should find this amazing or a little freaky. Can there really be complete strangers out there who are so similar to you in not just hobbies or likes, but in things that neither can control?

@ Becky: It is actually, it’s enjoyable.

@ Mei Zhu: True, that’s one way to look at it…

@ Tammy: Exactly, I’ve learnt a lot more since and while I’m glad we have some differences of opinion, it’s still quirky, like you said, when there’s something common again.

@ Skye: Soul mates did come into my mind, but like you said for friends, it’s really intriguing.

Theres always someone out there who will match your personality, but it’s hard to find them, so you’ve been lucky :P Must be nice talking to someone who is so similar :)

It does sound a bit freaky, seeing as how much you two have in common with each other. Then again, there are millions of people out there, and there’s bound to be someone similar to you in some way. Like, I once met a girl online who used to live in the same neighborhood I live in now.

That is somewhat freaky… Then again, when it came to this kind of thing, I was most weirded out with this other friend of mine how many similarities we had ^^;;; I think I did eventually get over it, but there’s certain quirks that never cease to befuddle me.

Then again, I was at the same time amazed that there could be someone out there that could share such uncanny similarities.

That IS very weird. And cool. I think there can be people out there that match you trait for trait. You know the soul mate theory? Kind of like that. I’ve heard that it happens sometimes in friends rather than your husband.

And I’ve tagged you on Ealain but I’m post-dating it to tomorrow since I just posted something else. So. You’ll be tagged tomorrow. o_O
