I cant maintain eyecontact when talking to someone How do i overcome this issue, because people think im weird when i look up at the ceiling when i answer them.  

Yes this a big problem many face, you should always try to atleast look at the person and to that you first try to practice with your friends or family members. Try to look into the eyes and try to speak with them. Slowly you try to implement this on the strangers as well. Generally some girls feel shy while looking into the eyes of the boys and speak to them. So, if you have that problem then you have to select a male friend and try to look in to his eyes and speak to him....All the best

It is true that when we keep eye contact while talking to a person, he feels we are listening to what he is saying. But, I too can not keep the eye contact specially when talking to a girl. I have a concern that what if I blink my eyes accidently while talking her and this feeling refrains me off the eye contact. I don't feel comfort if the person directly looks to my eyes and I get self conscious. Same may be the case with you. But, if you try it forcefully for a number of times without concerning much about the person, you will be at comfort later on. You need the initiation and result will be shown with more such instances and you will get it normal after a few exposures.

Practice is requred in it. Secondary is try to convice or tell the other person that you have such a problem and ask for an apology.
But still you can't tell the whole world every day. so you need to practice.......

First , if you live with your parents , start talking to you mother while loking at her eyes. If you cant do it, do it with you sister or brother. If are the only child try it with you best friend.Dont worry, just do it and slowly you will over come this habit.
Ypu have no weakness. I think your brought up has baught this habit in you with out your knowlegde. So rectify it from where it started.

That show that you are lacking the confidence that you are supposed to have.Meeting one's eyes is the best way to judge right or wrong.Staring at the ceiling makes you undetermined.Yopu will loose the impact of your view-point.

Develop self confidence. It seems you have certain weakness and to override them you are looking at the ceiling while answering. It is merely a habit that can be rectified. Start speaking before mirror in your room with eyes fixed on the mirror. you will be alright.
