“When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talking with them,” Erica Boothby, a social-psychologist, said. By telling a funny or embarrassing story we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome. By sharing similar or not-o-similar experiences, we empathize (产生共鸣) with and understand one another better.
