Preening and Repeating

One thing that many humans as well as other animals frequently do is they will go through an act of preening. Preening is when we are subconsciously cleaning and preparing ourselves for other people. Acts of preening include fixing up somebody's hair. Maybe they are playing with their hair by pulling stray hairs out or smoothing it down as they sit there and talk to you. They might run their fingers through their hair, move it to the side, throw it up in a ponytail, or do anything else that will indicate that they are fixing their hair from a state of what it was to state where it's a little bit cleaner and more presentable. This could also be seen through the way that we might pick at ourselves while we are talking to other people. Some people pick at mini scabs on their faces. They might also be picking at their chapped lips or fidgeting with their hands and picking at the cuticles around their fingernails.

Perhaps they are going through small periods of scratching as well. Scratching isn't always a way of preening, and can sometimes display that the person is itchy or nervous. Sometimes we scratch ourselves when we're nervous because it feels as though we might be doing some active preening on a smaller scale.

Scratching yourself is a way to heal, but it's something that feels good and alleviates some of the pain or tension we might be feeling from different discomforts in our body.

Think of the way that dogs need to wear cones after they get a surgery or go through another experience where they might have a wound or sore. Though it might not itch all the time, they might still try to scratch it as often as possible. The dog doesn't realize that this can make things worse; they do it because it's a natural feeling we have inside ourselves to try to alleviate some of the discomfort from the wound.

This feeling gets twisted around in our brains, and we'll do the same kind of action when we're feeling nervous or anxious. In some instances, it's a form of preening, but it could also simply indicate that the person is feeling uncomfortable or uneasy. Preening is also seen in the way that we might pamper ourselves or prep our looks using different products or makeup. Many individuals often associate trimming with women who are trying to be a little bit more romantic or flirtatious. The thing that we have to remember about preening is that it doesn't mean that another woman is attracted to you and trying to get your attention. She could only be feeling insecure and want to make herself feel better.

Preening in front of other people can also indicate that there is some form of competition. For example, if a woman chose to go into the women's restroom where it's a little bit busier and freshen up her makeup in front of other people, some might take this as a subconscious signal that she's letting others know that she is the top competition.
