    I’ve always wondered, is this psychological or physiological? Or both? Like, how does the body “differentiate” the two? Clearly there is a difference, but is it the brain actually seeing another person and firing different responses, or is there a difference in the act itself that lets the body know what’s really going on? Or perhaps a little of both?
