How much eye contact are you able to make with your therapist?

I find myself looking away, at the space in between us, or at the floor for a majority of our session. I don't know why. I think it has something to do needing to focus on the wheels turning in my head.,i.e., I"m looking inward to think about stuff, but I also think there's a certain sign of inhibition there as well.

I'm thinking about eye contact in my everyday life, I don't find it a problem when I talk to other people I know but with strangers, clerks at a store, or some such, I'm not very good at it.

I guess I wish I could make more eye contact but when I do it feel a bit forced.
Thanks for this!
