Having a twin can be fun, and there are people who want to have twins because they've seen how adorable they can be. Being a twin yourself can also be beneficial, as you have an inborn best friend.

The OP of today's story is a twin, and an identical one at that. They live together in an apartment while away from home for college.

They have always been very similar, not just in appearance but also in the things they enjoy, except when it comes to relationships. The OP is not interested in relationships at all, neither emotional nor physical, but her twin, Emma, is the complete opposite.

Ever since they started living here, she's been bringing another random guy or girl. The OP never interfered, even though she could hear the sounds coming from her room.

The problem now is that since they look practically the same and even their names are similar, the OP is getting attention intended for her twin. Emma has a reputation for how easy she is to sleep with, and people are approaching the OP thinking she's her twin.

The OP doesn't have any friends as a result of this, and she really got fed up with it. OP told her sister that the way she acts is ruining her life, but you won't believe the reply she got.

Read the full story in the OP's own words as you scroll down.

The story's title

Since it's her own life, the OP doesn't think she really has any right to judge

Whoever she sleeps with won't bother the OP so long as she makes it clear to everyone that they're not the same

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I demanded that my sister change her lifestyle so it wouldn't affect me anymore, even though I know I don't really have any right to tell people how to live.

The Reddit post got close to 2k comments and here are a bunch of them

There is not much the OP can do

This Redditor wants to know how the OP's sister reacted

It's only a matter of time before one of her partners hits on the OP

What the OP has to do is to find new roommates

They are going to want an explanation

The OP could try to change this

The OP can't control her sister but she can change her hairstyle

Sometimes, twins have a hard time being apart

Some Redditors said the OP can quickly stop people from mistaking her in real life if she dyes or style her own hair. She can also set her social media accounts to private and may set up settings to stop strangers from direct messaging her.

The OP was also told never to accept friend requests or texts from strangers as it is not required of her to accept, acknowledge, or respond to strangers. In the end, the OP was declared not the AH.
