Russian moots and / or anxiety moots , I have a strange question for you.
When you look at someone, do their irises 'flicker' back and forth as you read their eyes? Do you so that yourself? Do your relatives to that?

• You have noticed someone else do it

You don't have to be Russian, but if you are, feel free to tell me via DM since that's primarily looking for
