Hey dude, I was like that all through high school, etc. I kept having anxiety attacks. Car events were actually the things that got me out of my severe anxiety with crowds and confrontation. I attended a TR track night and an auto-x event and participated. I am always nervous, but I've noticed I'm progressively getting better with nervousness. I am losing the nervousness sooner (after first lap), rather than at the end of the day or never.
Just give it a try. I know it's hard with our personalities to stop caring about what people say, but I promise you it happens eventually. The feeling of drifting itself is worth it. I promise!!
