I ignore the fear - honestly, I just stop listening to it
I find it's a bit like getting into a cold swimming pool - if you do it quickly it's easier.

You simply have to man the fuck up!

That said, I'm usually bathed in sweat within seconds which is very, very attractive! At the first bash I went to (a /board one a couple of years back) I knew no one and was utterly terrified but within a very short space of time I was lifting my t-shirt up and showing how sweaty my back was - I'm classy me.
