Opinions and beliefs vary, but my belief (and that of most here, I think) is that you can only have one twin flame (it’s literally one soul split into two), but meeting someone who triggers similar feelings? That’s common and often means you’re getting closer to the real deal.
This confusion is absolutely exhausting.
If there’s any solace I can offer, it might be that you’re certainly not alone in going through it. Most people here can probably relate.
Your ex might have been what’s called a “false twin”. Someone who shows up to help you work through stuff before meeting your actual twin. These connections feel intense because they’re meant to prepare you, not torture you (though it feels that way).
The new person is sparking something even stronger? That could be significant. Or could it be that you’re overthinking it? There are signs that you’ve met your twin flame, but don’t get too hooked on looking for them.
Stop analyzing with your mind.
Your soul already knows.
Sit quietly, put your hand on your heart, and ask yourself how each connection feels at the deepest level. Not what signs appeared or what happened - just the pure feeling. Real twin flame energy has this unmistakable quality of “home” that goes beyond intensity.
You’ll get a lot of mixed opinions about the idea of external verification, like Tarot readings or a test that can take your details and give you a simple yes/no.
Personally, I think they can have their place to give you some insight into what your own intuition already knows.
Probably the first thing you can do for yourself, your journey (and your twin) is to read more into the journey and understand it as much as you can. Especially in the earlier stage, like this, physical distance with your counterpart is typical.
It won’t take the hurt away, but just know that at least a lot of us have been through it. Spirit seems to love making these connections as complicated as possible while we figure ourselves out.
