INFJ and ISFJ eye movement

What you described about me, the first person, particularly the part about "looking for" an answer when pausing is PRECISELY what I am doing. It is rather difficult to continue a monologue at times because when I say stuff I am not used to saying, I need to "read" something and that is what I'm essentially do when I pause and move my eyes in another direction. I find that making head/eye movements helps to shake up what I am looking for if that makes any sense. When my eyes look up at my head, I am silently asking myself "Hey! What's the answer? What am I trying to say?".

I always catch myself looking away from people whenever I finish a sentence too. I don't know if it's a shyness thing or not. It might be part of my behavior, though the camera shows that it may not be... unless I'm camera shy.

The other thing too is that relevant information pops into my head upon seeing something. Like today, I prepared myself a cup of tea, forgot about it when I left to go to class, then remembered it later when I saw a hot dog stand on the way over. I remember things by sensing other things. Another example like with the tea beverage. Before I leave, I pause and ask myself "Ok, what am I feeling that isn't right?... Well my throat is dr- OH! My water bottle!" then I go back inside to pick up what I was missing. I'm not sure if everybody does this though, but then again, I thought everyone could tell what a specific musical note is without a tuner.

I'm really excited that you shared my video with other fellow members here. I love it when people make observations about me. Not ones regarding how awkward I might be of course :tongue:

I find it difficult to concentrate when I look at someone directly in the eye while I am talking. I'll pick up on how they are reacting to my words which will make me stutter or lose my confidence in what I am saying. To avoid this I'll look at anything BUT the person I am talking to so that I have a sort of barrier and can then speak freely. When I look around while talking or listening, it's because I want to basically close my eyes and just listen, but if I did that people would be like "You're not even listening!" Hence why we just stare at random shit. I've seen some ISFJ's look around while talking much like INFJ's, but they are actually taking in information about the world still and this can sometimes cause a mental hiccup so to speak. For example, my mom (ISFJ) will be talking to me and then look at the refrigerator and say that when she in fact meant to say freezer. This happens daily and it amuses me each time I witness it. lol

If I am super interested and just listening, I'll stare for long periods of time at the person.

The opposite, if I know I have to initiate the conversation and have to do most of the talking I become pretty usure of myself. As a result, I will look around while I am trying to think of what I should say. I don't get distracted, it helps me think. But my guess is the person I am talking to thinks I am distracted.

Something reminded me of this too. I kind of guage the other persons eye contact and gestures and go off of them. If they look at me and smile I will loosen up. If their eyes are shifty , or don't smile much, or maybe even rub their nose at me, I become very cautious and will slow my speech down and probably look around while I try to navigate the conversation. These latter conversations, I'm not a fan of.
