Why Do Some People See Faces in Shapes?

Some people see faces in shapes because their brains like to find faces! Imagine you're looking at a cloud and it looks kind of round. Your brain might think, 'Hey, that’s a face!' Just like when you look at a pizza and it feels like it's smiling at you. It’s like your brain is playing a fun game, finding people in everything!
