Explanation
The nose-squeeze gesture can be a sign of dishonesty because it is a common nonverbal cue associated with deception. When someone is being dishonest, they may feel uncomfortable or anxious, causing them to touch or rub their nose. This gesture is often subconscious and can indicate that the person is hiding something or not being truthful. Therefore, it is possible for the nose-squeeze gesture to be a sign of dishonesty.

The nose-squeeze gesture can indicate nervousness because it is a common nonverbal cue associated with anxiety or stress. When someone feels nervous, they may unconsciously rub or squeeze their nose as a way to release tension or alleviate discomfort. This gesture is often accompanied by other signs of nervousness such as fidgeting, avoiding eye contact, or increased perspiration. Therefore, it is plausible to say that the nose-squeeze gesture can indicate the emotion of nervousness.
