kindred spirits
Birds of feather
Kindred spirits are people who share a deep, intuitive connection—similar temperaments, values, or ways of seeing the world.
The phrase suggests souls that recognize each other, often quickly: We met at a conference and realized we were kindred spirits.
Unlike mere friends with common interests, kindred spirits imply a fundamental compatibility of character.
