May be repetitive, I don't know, but I got to know!

With my head movements, I either dart my head away from people or I don't move it enough and I wonder if people pick up on these things. Would they judge my character because of this or would they look past this and only judge me on the words that I speak to them and ignore these subtle irregularities?

With interesting conversation, always get good response

Don't worry, just explain your feelings. Nervous, anxious etc

What do you mean by this "With interesting conversation, always get good response"?

Well people think of conversation rather than anything else and their own response or excitement in the subject

So, people are way more interested in the conversation than dissecting my head movements?

My love, honestly, people are more conscious of themselves than anyone else and wouldn't think anything of your head movements. Bless you, I know what it's like to feel self-conscious and think people are criticising you, but they are more bothered about themselves.Has something happened to you in the past that has made you so self-conscious of this?

Yeah, a few traumatic experiences. Social ridicule and mistrust of other people.

Not what you're looking for?
