It depends on your thoughts regarding past lives and if you think struggling to make eye contact is down to a tainted soul.
Me personally, I think it's down to lack of confidence and self esteem.
You're 21 - and I don't mean this to be patronising - but when I was the same age I struggled to make eye contact, and did do throughout my life from a child just like you.
Now eye contact is very important to me and quite special. It aids confidence and self esteem looking into someone's eyes. It is also a very beautiful thing to do, too, and not necessarily in a romantic way.
Start pushing yourself to make eye contact, but start slowly, 10 seconds at a time if need be and build up.
Looking into your own eyes in the mirror is a brilliant practice, too. Tell yourself you accept yourself. This will improve self esteem and confidence.
It's not pleasant, but feel the fear and do it anyway!
