I apologise ahead of time if this post sounds insanely stupid, but I noticed something a while ago which, honestly, is probably just pure coincidence. I had a nose operation a fair few years ago, and after I'd fully recovered, on the bridge of my nose between my eyes there was a slight discolouration of the skin. Nothing bad at all. The interesting thing is that this area of skin seems to change colour with my mood - going from barely visible to an obvious red. When at it's reddest, that's when I'm the most stressed out or anxious about something. My best guess is this is probably down to heart rate and blood pressure, but either way I find it pretty funny. Puts a bit of a smile on my face if I'm feeling like the weight of the world is on my shoulders - and it's red, and when I've had a good day at work and it's not visible. [grin] Any one else have any peculiarities about themselves? Perhaps even just some "tells" which allow others to read you?

Isolated to a small area on the bridge of my nose, and not short term either. Stays like that for hours. It doesn't happen if I just feel a bit nervous (I sweat, like most in that case) - it's if my general mood is "ARGH! So much to do, no time to do it, X is worrying me, what will I do about Y...".

I some how doubt it [wink], given that it only started happening after a rather intrusive grinding down of my nose! But fun to imagine. In reference to the book, I may have to put that on my list of books to read.
