Why do you think this works? I think it has to do with a mental and/or physiological response to loneliness increasing our stress.

To quote wikipedia: To date, no widely accepted neural or computational models have been put forward to describe how mirror neuron activity supports cognitive functions.

There’s lots of guff in the media and lots of speculation in the discussion section of papers about what they might be important for in broad hand-wavy terms, but really we don’t have a good understanding of them.

Wikipedia is not a good source. All the editor had to do was a google search to know this is misinformation:
