Your nose naturally points in the direction you want to go or toward things you're interested in.
While your nose points where your head is facing, this doesn't predict your actual travel direction, interests, or intentions. You can face one direction while thinking about another. This is a misunderstanding of body language, your overall body orientation and behaviour indicate intent, not just nose direction.
