* The real reason why Rainbow Dash reacts to Sonic with hostility in ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsSonicTheHedgehog'' is due to how much the extraterrestrial hedgehog reminded her of her [[spoiler: beloved uncle, Rainbow Blaze with his laid-back attitude and how he always calls her "Skittles" like her uncle does.]]

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E8TheRingsOfAhkaten "The Rings of Ahkaten"]], Clara asks the Doctor why he wanted her to travel with him.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/EarthsChildren'': In ''The Shelters of Stone'', Jondalar feels a lot of empathy for Janida because she reminds of himself when he was the same age; he also broke the rules of his community regarding intimate relationships and was judged for it (Jondalar fell in love with the woman [[ProfessionalSexEd assigned to introduce him to sex]], which was seen as taboo, and beat up the boy who jealously revealed their SecretRelationship; Janida was persuaded to lose her virginity with her boyfriend rather than wait for [[SexAsRiteOfPassage First Rites]] and got pregnant).


Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/EarthsChildren'': When Ayla first meets Mamut in ''The Mammoth Hunters'', he reminds her strongly of Creb, her father figure/adoptive uncle and mentor, not so much in appearance but in that they're both very old and exude an aura of power and wisdom. The effect is so compelling that Ayla kneels before Mamut like she would to a senior Clan member out of respect. They eventually develop a close, father-daughter bond much like the one Ayla shared with Creb.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/EarthsChildren'':
** In some ways, Rydag reminds Ayla of her son, Durc, especially as he was also half-Clan, half-Cro Magnon, with it being part of the reason she bonds with him so quickly. He also reminds of herself as a child; she knows all too well what it's like to be different from everyone else and to struggle to communicate and fit in, although she thinks Rydag has it harder than she did because while Ayla could pick up the Clan's sign language eventually, Rydag is physically unable to talk and lives among people who primarily communicate verbally.
** When Ayla first meets Joharran, the leader of the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii and her future brother-in-law, she's reminded of Brun, the leader of the clan who raised her. She recognises that Joharran carries himself with confidence and authority, but is a bit nervous around her and her animals, especially [[ADogNamedDog Wolf]]; Brun was also a competent and brave leader, but feared the spirit world (with Joharran assuming Ayla must wield powerful magic to control animals).
** When Brukeval is enraged, he reminds Ayla of [[ArchEnemy Broud]], who was similarly mentally unstable with anger issues (albeit for different reasons) and overreacts to perceived slights Ayla unwittingly commits. As a result, Ayla feels quite uncomfortable around Brukeval and tries to avoid him, although she also feels sorry for him.

It's worth noting that this variant often tends to be parodied or subverted. For example an AntiHero or DeadpanSnarker may wind up telling someone that it's the bad parts of themselves or the bits about themselves that they loathe that the person is bringing to mind. There are also times when it's said with the implication that the person they're saying it to is a NaiveNewcomer who is overly idealistic just like they were at that age, but will have to learn cynicism, just like the person speaking. Many a BrokenPedestal has said it this way.

[[InsultBackfire Shep takes it as a compliment]].
