It's a state of the mind. When we are not confident about something that the other person knows well, we fear to interact with him and consider ourselves inferior. It can happen to anyone.
The best solution that I have found to this is to look the person in the eye and talk to him and be honest in whatever you say.
Dont hesitate to accept if you dont know something coz even that person isnt perfect.

It has been said that the best conversationalists know a little about a lot of things. Of course, it is impossible for you to have personal knowledge about everything. But the human mind is a vast storehouse of knowledge. You will find that you can relate to almost every subject if you apply the following techniques.
-Ask Questions (obviously)!
-Think of someone else you know who relates to the subject. For example, if you meet somebody who's in, say, the naval reserves and you have a friend or a cousin who is as well, this is a great common ground for conversation.
-Bring up something you've read on the subject (this is where all that reading comes in handy).
-Bring up something that you have personal knowledge about that relates to subject under discussion. For example, say the other person's joy in life is skiing. You've never done any of that, but you have enjoyed ice skating. These two activities are similar enough that you may find you have much common ground for discussion.
-The more conversation you have with people, in fact, the better conversationalist you will become. This is true for two reasons: first, you get more practice at conversing. Second, and less obviously, the more people you know, the broader will be your range of contacts and shared knowledge, and therefore, the more subjects you will be able to indirectly relate to.
-Remember that first impressions are important, and the first conversation you have with each new person you meet will set the stage for the future relationship.
Therefore, when you are introduced to someone you expect to meet again, you should do the following things:
1. Learn that person's name.
2. Enter into a conversation with that person, and focus the conversation on that person.
3. Remember the facts that came out about the person in the initial conversation. This is extremely valuable, as it will ease much of the difficulty of thinking of things to say in future conversations.
For example, in subsequent conversations you can ask about the other person's children, hobbies, interests, and any other facts that came out about the other person in the prior conversation. Therefore, cultivating a good memory about people will make you a better conversationalist and will ease much of the fear about what to say to people in subsequent meetings. If you apply this technique successfully, you will also never have to worry about running out of things to talk about, as the previous conversation will always suggest new lines of discussion for the current conversation..

There is something called self confidence.Just tell yourself every morning that "You are good human being".See if you are good in nature and gesture people are automatically attracted to you and they will be patient to hear you .
Remember nobody can make you feel inferior but YOU!

perhaps it's due to your impeccable grammar?
truly, people, learn to spell and use words correctly.
are you a very large person? perhaps people are intimidated by your size. sometimes being a big person can even make someone self-conscious.
