Hi dreamgirl,
Your last post got me to remembering something. I had just spend 4 days with a person I was traveling with. Now that I returned I realized I have adopted her laugh...the sound of it. This has happened to me so many times and I spoke to another person many years ago who said the same thing happens to him. Not just laughs but mannerisms of other people I pick up if I am around them for a while. It's not conscious, in fact, I catch myself doing it as I am in the act of doing it and then say "hey this is like so-and-so". So there has always been this quality and an extreme sensitivity, so I understand what you are talking about. The mannerisms such as the laugh do wear off, lol, luckily. I'm not afraid of it or anything, but is it temporary and I prefer it this way for obvious reasons, although I don't, mind it when it occurs. But it does point to a sensitivity, energetic one, to be aware of. Because if mannerism can be picked up this way, so can moods, and thoughts. I think this happens more often then people realize.
