What is in your mind is the idea that these emotions you describe are some how a bad thing - they are not.
Realize that the people you are nervous about are often also nervous about you too. Again, that is not a bad thing.
Try to reframe that last bit in your mind as 'I hope people see my strengths', because it is much more empowering to you.
(for advanced users only: reframe it as 'I hope people see my strengths and my weaknesses - I hope they see me exactly as I am')
