GAZE AVERSION SIDE

The eyes flick to the side during a statement or question.

MEANS

Often interpreted as deception, but in reality it usually signals memory access, social discomfort, or distraction.

CONTEXT

Popular literature treats sideways glances as a lie indicator. The research does not support this. Habitual sideways aversion is more common in introverts and people from cultures that discourage direct eye contact. Treat as weak data only.

NOT

Anything specific. This signal is unreliable in isolation.
