Sometimes, when you meet someone new, your brain feels like it already knows them. It's like seeing a familiar face in a crowd, but this time, it’s the person who just walked into your life. Your brain might think they're an old friend, or even a family member, because of how much it likes them right away.
Examples
- When you met your best friend in middle school, it felt like you had known each other for years, that was the platonic feeling.
- You walked into a party and immediately felt like you’d seen that person before, that was the platonic feeling.
- When you met your partner at work, and instantly felt like they were someone from another part of your life, that was the platonic feeling.
