I wonder if there's anyone out there who can't see their nose at all?

If I look straight ahead, I don't see any part of my nose. I don't know if that is because it's small enough that it does not cross my vision, or if I am merely so accustomed to it I can't even actively see it without actually pointing my eyes at it.
Simply put: Your brain has learned to ignore it completely, or nearly completely.
The simplist and probably inaccurate way I can show this: Look to your left and right with both eyes. You might see something of your nose, though it mostly appears invisible. Now close one eye and look in the direction of your nose. You can see it, as you would expect. So it's there and quite in the way.
If I just look left and right without also looking down, I still don't see my nose. I see the bridge; but not the rest of it.
