People have a strong desire to identify with others, with something, to fit in and feel accepted as part of the crowd- be it the human race, the city of chicago, their neighborhood, their school, their office. For some reason its an amazing feeling finding someone who has many interests similar to your own, and even to find someone with one peculiar sentiment the same as yours is quite exciting- "oh yeah, i hate that too!" "oh i liked that movie too!" Why is that?

i think it's exciting to find someone who feels the same way one does because it affirms that how a person feels is okay and acceptable. on one level, it's fun to be different, but even for non-conformists, it's still reassuring to know they (we?) are not *that* weird.
