I think some people have some kind of misfunctional sympathetic link with what they see, so that they feel about other people's bodies like they do about their own. Others seem to rely so heavily on heuristics in their interactions with other people that they are not able to deal with outliers from their perceived norm. Others yet have not realized their mental image of another person is not an actual being, but a reflection of themselves created by their mirror neurons where the blanks are filled in based on past experience. I suppose the study of the humanities is supposed to lead us out of this dark and terrifying labyrinth of misconceptions.
