The trick of thinking about the worst possible scenario worked for me, when I had problems with social anxiety in high school.

If you expect the worst everything will turn out better than expected.

Or exactly what you expected, and at least you can say "told you so" :)

But I've meant that the worst I could imagine when I had tried was't really that bad to be so scared of it. So I realized I'm scared without sufficient reasons, and that I have much more to win, than to lose, so I just went for it. YMMV.
