Have you ever wondered if people mimic one another? When listening to a
favorite song and you feel as though it was written especially for you
about something you've experienced or are experiencing, or when someone
calls because they've had a bad day and you can relate but in a
different kind of way? Is this necessarily mimicking one another or do
we all just experience similar situations but under different
circumstances? What do you think?

sympathizing for what you may be feeling. Empathizing for what I know
and can relate to as how you are feeling.

How many people in the world? Six billion something?

A limited number of emotional states, a limited number of possible
reactions, a limited number of recognizable stimuli.

There are bound to be some overlaps and duplications.
