To sign "infinity," start by forming the "Y" handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your thumb and pinky extended while your middle, ring, and index fingers are curled into your palm. Hold your hand out in front of your body. Then, smoothly trace a horizontal figure-eight in the air, mimicking the shape of the mathematical infinity symbol.
Sign 'universe' and then use the 'infinity' sign, emphasizing the continuous figure-eight motion to show endlessness.
Sign 'I love you' followed by 'infinity,' perhaps making the figure-eight slightly larger and slower to show the depth and endless nature of the feeling.
Sign 'possibility' and then 'infinity,' using a smooth, continuous motion to convey the concept of having endless options.

They are related but distinct. 'Forever' typically starts with an index finger drawing a circle in the air before moving forward into a 'Y' handshape, while 'infinity' continuously traces a figure-eight entirely with the 'Y' handshape.
Keep it comfortable, roughly the width of your torso. It does not need to be massive, just large enough for the intersecting loops of the figure-eight to be clearly visible to the person you are signing with.
Not strictly, but most signers naturally start from the center, move outward to their dominant side, loop back through the center, and then to the non-dominant side, creating a smooth, continuous flow.
