Well, ive noticed and my friends also (think i have a fetish for ears) that when im nervous or scared i grab both my earlobes and massage them in circles and hunch up my shoulders. Is this normal? To like use my ears/lobes as a comforting thing?

    I've read somewhere before that body language wise, it's quite normal for someone to stroke or pull their earlobes when nervous or stressed. Could be a similar response. I don't do it with both but I find myself pulling at one when I'm a bit confused now and then.

    I think everyone has unique fixations. Mine is pushing down on all my fingers when I'm nervous, weird I know.. As long as you don't do ear thing during a job interview I think you're okay haha.
