Have you ever wondered INFJ

I noticed this during a recent outside my body observation, that when someone is talking my attention is focused on them, I can easily make eye contact and maintain it. I’m deeply engaged with what they are saying (and not). Yet when I myself start talking, I barely make eye contact, I’m usually looking away or up like I’m staring at my thoughts and plucking them out my brain to communicate but it does not seem to involve the other person. Sure I glance at them for comprehension purposes but overall it’s harder to look someone in the eye when my mind is ( I like this visual term) exploring the web. Is this common for any of you?

Edit: This is not referencing trying to recall information but a way in which we naturally communicate: looking up or away when expressing ourselves. Almost incapable of doing so (communicating) while staring into someone else’s eyes or directly at them.
