ry this:
Stare into the mirror at yourself for at least 5 minutes straight. You will feel a bit weird doing it, but you should feel the most comfortable with yourself.
Once you can do that for 5 minutes straight without feeling weirded out, move onto step 2:
2. Get a spouse or child to practice on. Ask them to have a staring contest with you, except youâre allowed to talk during the contest. Once youâve practiced for awhile and can feel comfortable speaking to them for long periods of time, move onto step 3:
3. Practice as you run your errands. For example, when youâre at the grocery store, practice looking directly at the cashier as youâre checking out. Make small talk with them while making eye contact, engaging them directly.
The more you practice, the better you will get. Just remember it normal to feel awkward when looking into someoneâs eyes. But soon you will realize that you cannot effectively communicate with others unless you look at them when youâre speaking. The eyes are the windows to the soul.
hope this helps
Thank you for reaching out. It is common to have eye contact anxiety when you are interacting with someone. There are various ways in which you can overcome this fear and maintain good social interactions. When you are having a conversation with someone, choose a spot near or slightly above the other personâs eyes. You can start by maintaining eye contact for at least 4-5 seconds and increase the time when you are more and more comfortable. It is okay to look away from the person while talking once in a while. Try to make eye contact at least 50% of the time during the conversation while you are speaking and maintain it for 70% of the time while you are listening. You can try practicing in front of the mirror to get a hang of it. I hope this answer helps you.

Health Tips
If things still feel overwhelming, it would be advisable to talk to a therapist.
Since I feel that your condition has developed as a part of your childhood upbringing, I suggest you to consult a psychologist and get guided on overcoming the current issues. Self-confidence can be built into your personality / nature to a great extent and that is likely to change the scenario in your favour.
