I would start by stop saying that “you avoid eye-contact”, I know it sounds silly but it works, and then also practice looking into your own eyes in the mirror and slowly graduate to your close friends, then stranger’s nose bridge when you introduce yourself and so on.

It’s basically exposure therapy which is the best way to treat discomfort/phobia; I’m not saying you’re cripplingly afraid of eye-contact but it is a spectrum of fear.
