WHEN people are attracted to each other, they tend to sit or stand in the same way, they tell the same jokes, develop similar mannerisms and copy each other’s physical gestures.
A grain of science
WHEN people are attracted to each other, they tend to sit or stand in the same way, they tell the same jokes, develop similar mannerisms and copy each other’s physical gestures.
This is known as ‘mirroring’.
Over time, lovers blend and assume each other’s physical habits. It comes so easily and naturally because love is the motivation.
The way people introduce their conversations, the way they stand to speak and the way they walk or hold themselves soon become similar. When someone does this, it marks good communication and shows us that our interest is reciprocated.
Mirroring also happens when talking to close friends, especially those you admire, as well as potential lovers.
So, be careful as you may misread signs of friendship as signs of love. But when your friend begins to behave in a manner similar to your lover, appoint a commission of inquiry.
