Eye contact

I just wanted to ask if anyone else feels awkward talking to someone with eye contact? I feel like I can't look someone in the face and talk whilst they're looking straight at me. 2 wks ago at my son's parents evening I wasn't making eye contact with the teachers and my son called me rude, he said you must look at them, but I don't do it deliberately I just can't, looking away or down helps me focus better with listening and speaking. I do get shy/nervous. How do I change this behaviour of mine? I feel more people, including family have noticed how bad I am at it.

I wasn't always like this, not that I can recall, but I'll say it's been bought to my attention now and since then it's been more awkward. To help I smile or laugh more to feel at ease.
