When I speak, unless I’m sharing the screen I always keep looking at myself. It’s kind of strange – it clearly does not match a real-world conversation, but somehow I can’t help it.

Edit: More context – I’m wondering if others have it, if this is something that can be explained by some “brain” thing, and also how does it affect the conversation.

    I do. I spend a fair amount of time glancing between my thumbnail and the speakers.

    Sometimes I turn my thumbnail off, so I don’t do it, but then I worry that I have a booger hanging out my nose, so I turn it back on.

      but that just opens the worrying space more: what if you turned the camera back on and there it was? isn’t it better to not know? 🙃
