By the way, that video was funny!
Didn't yawn a single time but I had to laugh instead. This looks a bit silly when there is a big group of people yawning at the same time displayed on a photo. :lol:

But now that I think about it, I don't think I ever yawned when a stranger did next to me, the only times are usually when mother, father or brother do... Maybe it has to do with knowing the person in my case?

That would seem to be the case you.

I feel like I need to yawn just by thinking about it. It doesn't have anything to do with someone else being in the room with me. My dog actually yawns when I yawn, which is interesting if you're into the behavioral evolution of dogs. I suspect I wouldn't see the same result with wolves.

Chimpanzees only yawn when other chimps that they know yawn, but if chimps they don't know yawn they do not respond at all.
NT's yawn whether they know the other human or not.
Fascinating.

I've seen people yawning in public but nobody else around them yawns.

In fact, just reading the word "yawn" makes me yawn.
