So if I'm having a conversation, and the other person is wiping their nose a lot, does that mean they think THEIR nose is dirty, or that they're trying to tell me MY nose is dirty? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Do you do that? As I said I really can't imagine this scenario. I feel like I should.. I feel like I'm tunnel visioned or just have VERY little life experience now. Do some ppl really react that way? If yes, why!?

Everyone I know (and me) will just forget about it in 5s or be thankful. Even you said that B'll thank them, but I (think..) I can tell the difference between an honest thanks and a fake one.

Is this some mental health thingy, like anxiety or something? Or "fear of having a friend looking out for you"?

I don't do this myself, but I know people who have expressed similar worries.
