I've wondered this about people who act the same. They also tend to have some of the same facial expressions and mannerisms.

Maybe like our brains have certain tempaltes of personalities that we alter along the way. A starter personality of sorts.

I mean there's this town in rural [state my family had a farm in but now we don't hallelujah farm work is hard] that everyone looks like me because, well, go back far enough and all 500 of them and me are related. First time I went to the old farm it was frightening. Like walking into a clone factory.
