Door nerves despite going many times

Writing as despite going to BH / Lab many times (15+) over the last years I have an ongoing crippling nervous feeling when approaching the door… the darting eyes, the uncontrollable nervous face…

it came to consciousness as we got grilled at power dance last week I think because I look so nervous (door person said “you look stressed but you’re in the right place”)

Any tips for facing this arriving sober at the BH door - I do think this has been the driver of my handful of rejections over the last 5 years; I’ve been held at the front and can see I’m being looked up and down and it makes me more nervous!

Looking for any tips from sensitive fellow anxious people who know they belong but still can’t shake the nerves of the attention / grilling!
