Can Pointing Fingers In A Particular Direction Cause Involuntary Facial Movements In The Same Direction?

default
Posted on Fri, 29 Dec 2023
Question: Can moving my hand with finger pointed diagonally upward to the right in the air close in front of my face (directly or indirectly)cause my face, nose, or jaw,chin to move diagonally up and right or in the same direction of hand with pointed finger (any change in position diagonally up and to the right)? Or moving or tilting my head or face diagonally up and right cause my nose or jaw/chin to move diagonally up and to the right or cause any change in position diagonally up and to the right? Thinking it’s a paranoid thought.

Diagonally up and to the right or slanting up and to the right

So such movements described above with my hand (while pointing finger) moving diagonally up and to the right in front of face or moving or tilting head/face cannot slant my nose or jaw or any part of face/head up and to the right or cause any change in position of any part of nose or jaw or face/head? Thanks.
