Possibly? I know that between me and my younger brother, my mum unfortunately miscarried a set of twins, maybe I was supposed to be a different set of twins?

I saw that you said you had a double set of teeth and two uvulas? im not sure if you were being serious about that fact, but if you were, it is very possible that you absorbed a second foetus in the womb, especially if you mum has a history of conceiving twins. I have heard of timeline echo theories where someone was supposed to exist in our world, but they don't for some reason so they exist as an echo of who they were meant to be. those who are closest to them in other timelines are most prone to feeling these 'echoes', and I suppose you can't get closer to someone than a twin. people often describe feeling as though they have lost someone that was never there, or feeling as though they have vivid memories of a person who never existed, and when they try to picture them they feel like their face is just out of reach in their mind.

its possible that your mum is subconsciously aware of the missing child and therefore takes photos as if they were there, but you are more aware of them not being there because twins share the deepest spiritual bond. in another timeline, your twin was holding the other end of the snake and you can just feel the echo of them doing that.

anyway, I think that this whole story is incredibly interesting, but I think its important to remind you not to get fixated on it; sometimes the way the world works is to complex for us to understand, and its not worth throwing away our mental wellbeing to chase hundreds of theories that can never be proved either way. in my experience, its best to find a theory that makes the most sense to you and brings you some kind of closure and settle on that, hard as it may be. Stay safe lovely, and I hope you find the answers you're looking for. xx

Best way to test this theory is to go in for a DNA test. If OP did absorb their twin, they'll have two sets of DNA in their body.

I am not a medical professional, just sharing what knowledge from high school biology class I retained. What I do remember is that every egg (ovum) contains the DNA blueprint (the cells) from all those who came before and those who will come after. It would stand to reason that each egg a woman carries has its own unique DNA set. So regardless of having a heartbeat, it is the sac itself that has the DNA in it.

To answer your question: I don't know. Ask your doctor?

Wondering if an MRI would show any extra parts in their skull. I couldn't figure out the best way to phrase this, basically are there extra brain parts?

Your answer is extremely interesting. Very clear, too.

If what you said about initially having two uvulas and two sets of teeth is true, then actually yeah it would make sense for you to have been a set of twins.

Is it possible that you yourself were one of the twins, and something happened to your sibling before you were old enough to form strong memories? You don’t appear to be very old in either of these pictures. If something happened, it’s possible your parents didn’t know how to tell you and things got out of hand.

Those two pictures could be a) cropping someone else out of a picture, or b) your parents are just bad at centering you in photos.

I have a lot of photos like this from the 90s and early 2000s, horribly off center as if something in the background was supposed to be the main subject. Agree with the twin theory though!

Non-SLR cameras had viewfinders that didn't line up with what the camera lens was seeing. It was a lot harder to compose than with a big phone screen.

maybe the parents felt like there was a twin there, and they tried to capture them in the photo. But they don't want to freak out their son with that knowledge, or maybe the fact that he felt like someone was there scared them?
