Would be interested to hear how conscious of mirroring people here are.
Most commonly noticed when drinking pints or any beverage with friends, also smoking cigarettes. I notice that people will smoke a drag mirroring drinking also. See it with eating sometimes but to a lesser extent. There's also mirroring and then stopping halfway for example holding off (de-synchronizing or synchronizing) putting the glass down. So yes my observations are mainly pub/drinking related..
I'm sure theirs loads more much more subtle examples of this but it's still strange when you're totally aware of yourself and others doing it, despite it being subconscious and pretty much uncontrollable.
