I was like that as a kid and teen. I got over it, but I can't really tell you how. I guess I just decided that life is too short to waste on not finding out if you like something just because you're afraid of looking stupid. I look stupid all the time, but I love to try stuff now. I'm a reporter, and occasionally I look stupid in print, and I run a correction and call the person to apologize personally and move on.

I dunno. It's just something I learned gradually, I think. I got rid of the last remnants of it as an adult with a little therapy.
