What's up with all the head shaking when you give an affirmative response to a question?

I only see Indians doing this and it's mostly Indian guys. When did you guys start doing this? Is it religious and on purpose? Or is it an emotional reaction similar to how Italian men use expressive movements with their when talking about pasta?

I've only seen India foids do this. I thought it was them being playful.

No they all do it, it's... just a sort of acknowledgement that they're listening to the conversation. It doesn't mean yes or no, it's just 'I have heard that.' Some of them wobble their fricking heads to a worrying extent.

its just how they show they are paying attention to you. i said to an indian once "you're agreeing with me but it looks like you're shaking your head no" and he explained it

doesn't annoy me as much as the eating with fingers and leaving food all over the keyboard
