Diagnosed ADHD and my eyes move to my left when recalling information no matter how much I try to fight it. Drove my parents and teachers nuts because they thought it meant I was lying.

Damn. I just tried to... mimic (?) what you described, but then realized my eyes went to the right. When I tried again, but this time to the left, it felt so unnatural, but to the right or upwards feels comfortable and natural. Also ADHD, but I never thought that it left vs. right would feel so different for something like that!

Yeah, everyone is different. That’s kinda why it was debunked with later studies. Even with a baseline they’ve shown some people can avoid showing any type of tell when lying or recalling info.

I think visually so it helps me focus and I find direct eye contact uncomfortable in general unless I really know the person well.

For quite some time it was assumed to be a micro expression indicating imagination. To the right was recollection I believe. While it's not based in scientific fact the show 'lie to me' covers a lot of common ones. Fun watch even though the concept is a bit dodgy.

ADHD myself. Reading faces is a lot of information - and when you are trying to recall or focus you will look away to reduce stimulus. It's similar to turning the car radio down when focusing or looking for something.
