So I'm usually a pretty funny and charismatic guy among friends. I can talk with them and joke around, keeping them laughing and having an engaging conversation. Howevet, whenever I'm even the slightest bit nervous -- and especially when talking to a girl that I like -- I clam up completely, and when I try to force myself to be as outgoing and funny as normal, it comes off as your typical awkward guy trying way too hard.
I know this isn't some special case; clamming up when you're nervous is probably experienced by most people to some extent. I'm just wondering: does anyone have any tips to overcome this? I garner so much attention from women I'm not interested in and manage to all but scare off the ones that I like.

Calm down.
You type too much and think too much. M&M. Masturbate and meditate.

I do have the exact same problem. It feels the same as you, word for word.
Also, this guy is right >>17601164
Don't overthink. It oddly need practice not to otherthink and I still can't get myself to do it. Any advice ? (Excepted to masturbate. It doesn't work like this man)

Grow the fuck up, kid. Hike up the big boy pants and start behaving like the person you want to be. It's all in your head. When you feel the pressure to act against your own desires, push back. Like everything in life, the more often you do it, the easier it becomes.

Grow the fuck up

But how would that help? If anything I masturbate way too much as it is.

The problem is your glorification of those girls you like. Treat them like anyone else. You can even be mocking if they are beautiful. Likely they won't be used to it.

Get a job in customer service or do something that requires you to interact with a great variety of people, some of which you might find attractive. It might just come with age since the older I get (in mid 20s) the more I carry myself with a 'yeah, this is me' kinda attitude and I can talk to basically anyone.
I was the ultimate awkward spaghetti spiller after HS until I worked retail for two years. Coworkers joked that I was a mute but I slowly got how to talk, make funny jokes or observations, etc. My heart still flutters when chatting with attractive girls but I can keep my cool and get some success a lot easier due to experience.
