I think the first step is to stop caring about looking like an idiot. The trick is to be confident that you're not actually an idiot. Then you can look like one, and people can laugh at you, and you can laugh right along with them because you do look rather dumb, but you never think for a moment that you actually are an idiot. Tell yourself enough that you don't care what others think about you, and that what really matters is what you think about you, and you'll start to believe it and actually have that kind of confidence. If you don't have it, fake it until you have it ;)
