When I see someone yawn, I often feel a stronge urge to yawn myself. Why does this happen?

We self relate too much. If you started itching, other people would start to itch too. We always think of ourselves even when it doesnt have anything to do with us.

for some odd reason this is true. Try it make believe a yawn and soon everyone around you will be yawning.

You yawn because the body thinks it is not getting enough oxygen to the lungs and brain, and when we see another person yawn your brain goes...oh that person is not getting enough air, i am not either... and then you yawn.

Same here.
I think it is the fact that you see somebody else do it to make you all of a sudden fell to do it.
Creepy...
huh?
