Don't feel bad. I can't even stand looking a pictures in which the person is looking at the camera.

It's also at times awkward when that happens in Attack On Titan. But I'm sure you'll overcome it.

Watch Phil in Modern Family and you'll understand.

I have definite seen this exact post elsewhere before

Hahaha. I've done that too! ???

I do this regularly while watching the tele. :/

It's a simple human reaction that works at a far lower level of consciousness than your realization that he's just an actor on a TV screen. But maybe you can use it to your advantage. Flirt with people onscreen instead of being intimidated by them. There's a level of pseudo-reality to movies/TV shows that might allow you to exercise your self-confidence until you can use it in real life.

That sounds so cute

Yeah you need to fix that

I do that too don't worry :) its pretty intense when they stare right at you.
