I only found out this when my mum told me, but my sister has noticed it and sometimes points it out. I try to look away from people when they talk to me!! I think it happens with conversations where i either do not believe what someone is saying, when i think someone is being obtuse, or when someone is describing something that i think could be described better I wish my nose did not twitch!

IN TIME, WHEN I WAS REQUIRED TO INTERACT WITH ADULTS IN A WELL MANNERED FASHION, I WAS HIT WITH A DOUBLE WAMMY. SPEACH DISORDER. FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON I WOULD BECOME TENSE WHEN TOO MUCH ATTENTION WAS BEING PAYED TO ME; BY INQUIRING ADULTS. YEARS LATER, MY OLDER BROTHER SAID IT WAS THE RESULT OF THE TENSION EXPERIENCED IN OUR HOUSEHOLD DUE TO MY FATHERS DRINKING HABITS. DURING HIGHSCHOOL YEARS, I DID MY BEST TO AVOID HAVING TO PERFORM ASSIGNMENTS IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. "FLASH !! BOY TURNS TO STONE". AS A YOUNG ADULT, I AVOIDED SYMBOLS OF AUTHORITY, LIKE SCOWLING SUPERVISORS WHERE I WAS EMPLOYED AS AN APPRENTICE TOOLMAKER. THESE BURDENS WERE EVENTUALLY LIFTED WHEN I DECIDED TO EXPOSE MYSELF TO SITUATIONS AT MY JOB WHERE I WOULD BE FORCED TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS IN A BUSINESS LIKE MANNER , IT WORKED, AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SHUT ME UP EVER SINCE. ALAS, SELF CONFIDENCE HAS IT'S REWARDS. HOWEVER, NOW I'M PUSHING 70, AND "THERE BACK", I'M REFERRING TO THE FACIAL PERFORMANCE. NOT A PROBLEM, IF ANYONE MAKES A COMMENT. I'LL BLAME IT ON MY YOUTH.

AY LEAST THAT IS WHAT THE CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST
TOLD MY MOTHER WHEN SHE TOOK ME TO BE “ANALIZED”
