There is a neuron in the brain that is responsible for recognition of faces and facial expressions. This neuron triggers you to copy facial expression you see on others.
You mirror their expressions unconsciously. When you mirror someone's body language you are offering nonverbal cues that you relate to them and feel the same as they do.
In fact, research shows people who share the same emotions are likely to experience stronger levels of trust, connection and empathy.
You can reverse-engineer this process to make close connections with others by mirroring their expressions and body language.
Let me know once you try in the comments.
