My Experience Of playing chess As A Teenager

My Experience

As A Teenager I Play Alot Of Online Chess games & Games. So That Means Im Not Really Good At In Person Games. The Last Time I Went To The Province Arena And I Thought I Need To Practice More.
Every Time Im playing In person Games Im Scared Of my Opponent I cant Think Really Good But In Online Games/Chess Games I play Better than In person Even tho All Of my Opponents Are Not That Hard To Win,I still Loose. Thats Because of Eye Contact.

Eye contact

When Im Trying to Think My Opponent Stares At me And That Makes Me think Im weaker Than Him and He thinks He is Better.

Confidence

EveryTime My Opponent Looks At me I think Im weaker than Him and...... So How do I need to Stop That
I need to be Confident That Im winning the Game. The Problem Is When I reach The Federation And I see My Opponent I get Scared And Loose

FIDE Rating

Im Also Scared Of Peoples FIDE Rating Like I see In chess result That Who did the Arbiter Paired me And when I see Like 1696(FIDE) I get Scared And Loose the Game
The Funny Thing Is I finally Got A FIDE Rating Which Is 1510 And.......
Can you Help Me Stop Loosing this Much Only Because Of Confidence And Eye Contact? In the Comments Please?
Thank you For your Help!
