English
Sometimes I feel like I have pretty decent English level, but when it comes to speaking I don't feel like I speak as eloquently as I do in my mother tongue. And that makes speaking kinda intimidating for me. If I want to humble myself when I feel like my English level is there, I usually start speaking and boom I am already humbled.

You're not alone, I think everyone experiences some anxiety when speaking a foreign language. It's much more cognitively difficult than listening, reading or writing because you have to produce the vocabulary and the grammar correctly in the moment, often while simultaneously processing what someone else has said to you. The best way to overcome a fear of speaking is doing more speaking... a lot more speaking. It's not possible to learn something as complex as a language without making a lot of mistakes, so don't be too hard on yourself when that happens. Mistakes are an opportunity to learn and improve.
Thanks @Sto-Imparando! Your comment made me think about giving myself more grace.
Hey, many people feel really nervous speaking their mother tongue except with friends...
Also, you've spent quite a few more years learning your mother tongue. So you'll probably never be as eloquent. Already using the word eloquent is very eloquent if you get my point. Well done!
@MusiqueGraeme Thanks for the encouragement!
