I now this was posted awhile ago but figured I would respond as I have/had many of the same issues. I often have had trouble looking people in the eye, coming up with things to say, etc. Here is the kicker, this happened to me all the time regarding of weather the person I was talking to was a HB or not. I am still working my way through these issues but here is what I can tell you
First, soldier through the fear. This is the most important thing to get inside your head. The fear will not go away on its own. Inner game is fantastic and there are 100's of places you can go on the internet to learn about it but nothing works like getting sh1t done.
Scared of making a phone call? Then make the phone call. Scared of talking to a women? Then talk to her. As you both improve your inner game AND get some of these experiences under your belt it will get better.
That being said there is no magic bullet and the road will be rocky at first but if I can do it so can you.
Anyone feel like this post here or send me a private message and we can talk more.
