I have social anxiety, and the prospect of awkwardness is sooooo much worse than the actual experience.
The prospect is positively crippling, but once I manage to push through that, things tend to work out. And when they don't it's not that bad. Then, next time, the prospect is again crippling, though perhaps a bit less.

Small steps.
