Communication with people in general and with the opposite sex in particular is often hampered by a more or less pronounced fear. The reasons and reasons can be completely different: fear seems awkward, fear of ridicule, fear of misunderstanding
But if you take a good look at both those around you and yourself, you will realize that there is no threat.
Instruction manual
one
Formulate your fear as accurately as possible. It is impossible to fight the phantom and there is no fear of everything at the same time. Having ascertained the essence of your discomfort, you will immediately understand the reason.

The next step is getting rid of fear. The oldest and most effective weapon against any kind of fear is laughter. Imagine your fear in the form of the most terrible monster with huge fangs, claws, aggressive mood. Now give it some comic features. Imagine that, despite all his anger, he can not do anything to you, because he is deprived of the ability to move. Approach him mentally and pierce with your finger. Imagine how it is blown away, reduced, melted. Air comes out of it with a strange and funny sound. Imagine a monster turning into nothing.

Contrast your behavior with fear: if you are afraid to seem awkward, become awkward intentionally. If you are afraid of ridicule from the girl, make her laugh too much. If you are afraid to seem stupid and uneducated, play the role of a rural fool. Achieve exactly what you fear, but don't go too far. Firstly, you are in control of yourself and you can become yourself again at any moment; secondly, you see that the results of your mistakes would not be as scary as you thought recently.

Everyone is subject to the same fears as you. The girl you want to like is no exception. She will not follow your every gesture and read your thoughts. Like you, she is focused on herself. She is not at all interested in finding out your shortcomings and paying attention to mistakes. Observe her: most likely, she herself is mistaken and also feels awkward at some moments.
