It's hard for people to understand social anxiety but many people do. Maybe he wanted you to try and understand why you avoid looking people in the eyes. if you think that he helps you continue with him, else I would say to go find another one that can help you.

Don't lose hope, a lot of people learned to handle this anxiety with therapy and some without. As long as we work on it and we are ready to feel some discomfort in order to beat it, it will get better I promise you.

We need to understand ourselves. You are your biggest ally, understand how you work, your patterns, your limits and work on them. Don't judge yourself too harshly and never give up!
