Strangers tend to talk to me, even when I don't want them to. My mother says it's my body language. I tend to smile easily, make eye contact, and have a general open posture (stand up straight, uncrossed arms, walk with my head up).

I don't think that you can connect to someone on an emotional level during a casual encounter. Within the context of a relationship , however, the connection is made easy by truly listening to them. It sounds as if you are not much of a talker, but that doesn't mean that you are automatically a good listener. If you open up and truly listen, most people will be more than glad to fill in the conversation for you. If you truly are interested in what they have to say they will continue and even prompt the conversation to go further, If not the conversation will become odd and rather short. When you show true interest in a subject that someone is talking about you will automatically shift your mind to comparisons within your own life and experiences, then all you have to do is relay those thoughts and you will have an emotional conversation.
