Among Friends

@rochelleS 's comment on another thread about how I looked like her mother reminded me to post about this.  

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I were having lunch at Culvers.  As we were eating a guy stopped at our table, looks at me, and says "Helen?".  I smile and answer "no".  

I can't count the number of times this has happened to me.  I must have the most common face in America.  People always think they know me.  And it's never that I simply look familiar.  They always know exactly who it is I look like, but sadly it's never a celebrity.  Very often it's a relative.  I mentioned that to my husband and he said "Yeah, but this is the first time I've ever seen it happen".

@Icegoddess  I have been told on several occasions that I resemble Sandra Bullock. My niece favors me, and I can definatley see she does. I think I did more so when I was her age. Either way, I will take it. LOL

I get that a lot too.  A few times I've seen someone who makes me look twice because she looks like me

@Icegoddess 

I'm told I look like other redheads in strangers lives a bit.

I guess us redheads all look alike. haha

@Icegoddess  Maybe they are using it as an excuse to stop and talk to you because, come on, you are very beautiful.

You rock, Helen.......lol.

@Icegoddess   Funny you would post this.  I must resemble a nurse that works at our local hospital. I was shopping...and a couple approached me to say they would see me next week when they have their doctor's appointment. I explained that I don't work there ...and they said that their nurse was my exact "double".    
  This is not the first time it has happened.  When I had an appointment of my own...I was walking down the hospital hall...and a woman waved and said see you soon nurse Sherry.          Well...my name is not Sherry...and I am not a nurse.  🤷🏻‍♀️

They say that everyone has a twin somewhere. Apparently mine is at the hospital.  😊

I find this so interesting!       My son said he saw my doppleganger on a train in Chicago - she was speaking French!  I always wanted to learn French.

I'm the opposite, I'm often mistaken, thinking someone is someone else. Because I'm aware of my disability, I wait for the other person to say hello first.

I've never been mistaken for someone, but people always tell me I look familiar to them.

I moved about 500 miles from my previous home, heard it there and now I hear it here.

I've been told several times I look like an actress.  But she's a B actress, maybe even a C actress.
