Smoke less pot, exercise regularly, and eat well. Also, playing my guitar and singing calms me.
If you feel you're driven by logic, try rationalizing. What's the worst thing that could happen in a social situation? Most of the time it's trivial.
Try imagining that worst case scenario: you have to answer your Professor in front of the class, and you freeze up. Maybe a few people giggle; someone whispers in the back -- nothing serious, nothing overtly humiliating. That's pretty realistic, I think.
I like to imagine what kind of insecurities are driving those giggles and whispers. Some people get off on making other people feel bad. So they might laugh, but I can only pity them.
The kinds of people who take advantage of social awkwardness are not the ones who I want to associate with. So I feel better walking into a situation like that, because I know that the cool people will still be cool with me, and the uncool people will make themselves known.
