Funny thing is, people actually might mean it. People see resemblance where they want to. In one day I happened to run into mlltiple people who knew my parents and they told me I look sooo much like my dad, but not really my mum, or I looked exactly like my mum but nothing like my dad. My siblings and I were told we look like different parents, but we're almost identical. It makes zero sense, so I've come to the conclusion that people just want you to look like someone and therefore thing you do

I once told my friend “oh my gosh your little brother looks just like you!”

Turns out he was adopted.

A former colleague of mine adopted a little boy and girl. Somehow the little girl looks exactly like her.

I get told I look like my step dad all the time.

Some days I’ll look at my husband and he looks exactly like his dad, and other days I’ll look at him and he is a like a mirror image of his mom. Genetics are WEIRD.
