#36: Mirroring Gestures
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the closest of them all? If you notice someone mirroring your gestures, it’s not just a coincidence. According to body language experts, mirroring is an unconscious attempt to bond and build rapport with someone else. Mirroring is the phenomenon where someone subconsciously imitates your body language, speech patterns, or even your tone of voice.
This is usually a sign that they’re trying to connect with you on a deeper level and build a stronger relationship. Mirroring can also be a sign of empathy, where someone is trying to understand your thoughts and feelings better. So, if you notice someone mirroring your gestures, take it as a sign that they’re interested in what you have to say!
