    I frequently share the show Love on a Spectrum to others. They get surprised by some folks on the show who have similar behaviors like their friends/coworkers. And I have to go, “Yep!”

      I wonder if that’s due to like people grouping together, or people taking on personality traits of those they spend time with.

      I know I’ve picked up a few things that my wife does, like wiping my fingers every time I touch food to eat it.
