my wierd habit
usually when I am in a long conversation with someone I start feeling that my nose gets itchy. it appears weird to me as a part of my brain remains busy scratching the tip of my nose. my mom suggested it may be because I don't feel confident. but it even happens when I'm talking to my friend about my usual self.is that because I'm an introvert? what can be the possible reason? how do I get rid of it especially at social meetings, presentations , interviews ?

Going into what could be the reason could be a long delve into your psyche. Lets just say for short that there is something that long ago, you decided not to bring up, something you don't like or are too afraid to bring up. I can guess. Whetther you like or don't like the conversation, you be feeling that you want to respond to something said, but either feel inequipped as to what to do or feel what you say wont be accepted and being a generally nice person, you don't want to share your true beliefs and feelings for fear of rocking the boat or possibly upsetting people which you are afraid of doing, so your subconscious mind has come up with a way to take your mind off the conversation and on to you and does so by creating an nervous habit, sometimes its a body tic or an anxiety or obsessive behavior. This simply means something that is important to you subconsciously is Not being addressed. Until you discover what it is that is so important to you that you have been ignoring, this won't go away but perhaps you can exchange it for a new habit. The moment you feel your nose itch, choose to do something different like scratch a hand instead, a spot less likely to draw notice when others are looking at your face.
If you want to be totally rid of it, it will take your learning to gain self confidence which will help with the 'introvert' thing you mention. Being a naturally more quiet, less talkative person does not mean you are self conscious, lack self confidence but can be mistaken for that and thats why I bring up those things cus once upon a time I was there. I didnt scratch my nose but my hands got clammy when I thought I was expected to say something. I finally got tired of lacking in those areas and did something about it. So it depends on what your situation really is which you will know best, I can only guess. If you do need help gaining self confidence, I can help share more with you only those lines. Let me know.
