Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I met a person recently. I met the person for the first time. But, I feel some strong connection towards that person. I feel like I already know that person, but do not know how.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This feeling of already knowing a person you met for the first time is quite normal and never an out of the world phenomenon. The intensity depends on the sensational perception. Your five senses along with the intuition have a created impression about a perfect person. When you actually meet a person according to that impression, you feel the intense connection. This is normal.

Take care.
