Mirror-touch synesthesia

It may have happened to you that when someone cries, you also cry when you see that person, this feeling is much more intense for some people… Mirror touch synesthesia (MTS) describes a rare condition that causes people to mirror sensations they see and then experience emotional and physical touch. For example, feeling pain, to an extent, after seeing someone get hurt. People with MTS may perceive a synesthetic experience in the same part, or the opposite part of the body, much like a mirror image. For instance, if someone with MTS were to observe an individual touching their hand, they would feel the same sensation in their hand!!
