MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SISTER
As I told in the first project, I have a twin-sister. As most twins do, we also have a lot of similarities, both in terms of our character and physical appearence. However, that does not mean that we get along perfectly all the time.The thing is, we don't need to build empathy in our relationship because we have somehow or other a telepathic affinity. I mean, the empathy arises from our similar way of thinking, knowing each other very well and the ability to guess what the other one feels at the moment. There've been many times that we mentioned a sentence with the same word choice and word order. This aspect of our relationship enables the adoption of the perspective of the other part. However, we sometimes do not put ourselves in the other one's situation intentionally, what causes some disputes between us.Most of the time , we can communicate nonverbal very easily. Even with a single eye-contact, I know what she's thinking; or with a small lip-move, I can guess whether she's angry or having fun. I can give a funny example for this. Before she is gone abroad for university education, she was living with us. We shared the same room.
Both of us value being ambitious, cheerful, helpful, loving and responsible very much. She's aware of my intentions, and me of her. Secil and I have visited different high schools. When she's happy or excited about something, she writes without a single break so that I can't read with the same speed she writes. The level of self-disclosure in our relationship is higher than anyone else's. On the contrary, the school I visited, was more social activity-oriented than her school. That's what makes her angry with me. As the book mentions, "Every person has a unique perceptual filtering system, although there is some cultural overlap. I look more on the humorous aspect of the play. I hope our real selves will reach our ideal selves in a time. Although Secil is living very far away from me, we know everything of us. There's no lies in our relationship. This differences affected our perception in following way: For instance, when we go to theather, she evaluates the play in terms of historical, political context.
