The difference for me is that, instead of turning into a statue, I have this need to appear "popular" by talking to anyone with whom I have ever shared an elevator, making me come off as unabashedly phony and generally unbearable.
I've never gotten this impression of you in the history of ever. It's amazing the difference between what we see on the inside and what others see on the outside.
So, instead of yammering on, I have learned to take a few deep breaths (seriously), smile like I mean it, and ask the person next to me a question about himself. Pretty soon you're smiling and you do mean it, and odds are that your crush will be attracted to your confidence. From what I have been told, guys really dig that.
You're right about that. I mean, I do a pretty good job of keeping all of this inside and not letting too much of it show on the surface, but I want to do more than hide it, I want to be rid of it. And, as you pointed out, it's all deep breaths and a little bit at a time.
