Anxiety during user interviews

Does anyone have experience nervousness or anxiety during interactions with users, may that be usability studies, interviews, ideations, brainstorms?

I’m relatively new to the UX world (I used to a software engineer) and I always feel nervous and bit anxious right before talking to a user or during the interview, specially when a user seems closed off or their answers are short.

Did you ever experience that? If so, what do you do to feel better prepared? For does more experienced, does the feeling go away?
