Like maybe you've heard of these studies where like people like breathe in unison when they're like listening to stories, like their heartbeat synchronizes with the people listening.
It has a lot to do with empathy.
I think that reading someone else's emotions and their thoughts is
There's a ton of evidence on this that it kind of leads us into that same emotion that's called emotional empathy.
So when someone's hurt, for instance, and you feel that like, ooh, that pain, or they're smiling and you feel good, that's emotional empathy.
And so synchrony is a really big part of just how we connect.
Our brains, like,
our language our body language our facial expressions it's been shown that our facial expressions imitate other people so when they're smiling your your muscles that cause you to smile they start to activate too because it helps you understand what they're feeling it's sort of this like fundamental but very quiet piece of how we're connecting the synchrony
Yeah.
When we're interacting with someone, we all the time are mimicking their facial expressions in both directions.
If they're smiling, we might start to smile just a little bit.
If they're frowning, we might start to furrow our brow.
It just kind of happens automatically.
Like people don't even notice it.
The reason it happens is because it helps you understand what they're thinking.
If they're frowning and then suddenly your face starts to frown,
the information from your face goes back to your brain and your brain says oh i'm frowning i must be sad and then you're like okay they're sad and you know through these intricate networks in your brain it helps you figure out what they're feeling so botox it paralyzes the muscles in the face and so if you're not as easily able to imitate someone's facial expressions then it's actually been shown that people with botox kind of struggle to pick up on emotional cues that they can't as easily identify what someone's feeling
Yeah, exactly.
They can't imitate it as easily.
And by the way, you might be listening to this and being like, I don't smile when I see someone smile like that.
