When you feel a connection with someone do they feel it too?
In short, Yes! It happens, but the chances are very rare. In order to feel such a mutual instant connection. The two individuals must be highly intuitive and shared the chemistry of the same empath bond to read each other’s minds, feel each other’s emotions, and understand each other’s motives. However, sometimes, when you feel a connection with someone, they may not feel the same way instantly because of personality incompatibility. And in other cases, there are chances for both to develop similar feelings. But it requires both your time and effort to connect with each other and make the relationship successful.

Final thoughts
We all have moments of connection with people. When we meet someone new, we instantly feel a bond formed between us, no matter how small it is. And that raises many self-doubts and questions, such as when you feel a connection with someone do they feel it too? But the fact is, such a feeling of connection between two people can’t be explained. It’s only felt instinctively and happens naturally. The more you try to grasp for it, the harder it becomes. Also read: Why can’t I stop thinking about someone? (According to psychology) The feeling of connection is stronger the closer you are to somebody. And even more so when you completely attach to them emotionally. When this happens, it can be hard for us to accept the fact that these bonds do not last. The interesting thing is that there is no law that prevents us from falling in love again, even after the first time. The strongest bond is the one that has never been broken. My best advice is that, don’t force or rush any relationship. If both of your feelings and connection are genuine, authentic, and mutual, instinctively you will come to know.
