Emotional Intelligence 101: Mirroring is not just a fancy way of saying you're a good listener. It's actually a superpower that'll make you the ultimate BFF (BFFL? More on that later)
When you mirror someone's emotions, you're basically saying, "Hey, you're having a blast, I'm having a blast too!" or "Ugh, you're having a bad day, I'm having a bad day too!"
But don't worry, it's not just about faking it 'til you make it. Mirroring is actually science. It's all about empathy and understanding the other person's emotional state. And it's super effective, because who doesn't love when someone gets them?
So, the next time you find yourself in a conversation that's going sideways, try mirroring the other person's emotions. See what happens. Maybe you'll even get a BFFL out of it
