How old were you when you visited your grandparents? How long did you stay with them? Were there other stressors occurring back when this happened? Did you see something when you stayed with them? Something that you aren't real comfortable with??

Personally, I generally have a difficult time looking at people in the eyes & have had this problem for YEARS, due to my perpetual low self-esteem. However, I typically look down on the floor or out a window. My eyes stay away from the person entirely (except for a sentence here or there).

If you aren't trying to figure out what caused this behavior of yours, and simply want to devote your time trying to change the behavior, I'd recommend going with CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). It's very popular and effective with helping people develop healthier behaviors.
