SOFT FOCUS
●●●
The eyes appear unfocused or slightly glazed, looking at no fixed point.
MEANS
Disengagement, daydreaming, or dissociation.
CONTEXT
The conversation has lost the person, or they are no longer present in it. Often paired with a slight head tilt and slowed breathing. A return signal — a sharp blink and a refocus — marks the moment they return to the room.
NOT
A pause to think, which is usually accompanied by a focused gaze on a single point.
