Article talks about paradox, where twins reared apart where more similar than twins reared together.

As a non identical twin, I remember we sometimes actively tried to become different with my twin. Growing up, we hated being treated as one unit instead of two individuals. Also we competed a lot in sports, school etc. Slowly I found areas where I was better and my brother where he was. I have talked to some other twins and they said the same thing, about hating as being treated as one unit and wanting to become at least little different.

identical twin here - I share your experience, but at the same time I recognize that the "big" differences I see and accentuate between me and my brother are in fact laughably trivial when compared the differences between non-twins. Despite any efforts to find our different paths, we are far, far more alike than different.
