For me, I was naturally gun-shy for a while, but fortunately I've gotten over it. What I'd recommend is that you work on coming forward. I found that being gun-shy, I'd stay back a lot and wait. What would happen is that I'd be waiting and when the punches came, I'd turn, back up or hit the ropes and cover up.
What would be better is just keep coming forward, will yourself to keep coming forward, whether you get hit or not. Don't be reckless, but be willing to come forward. If you focus on keep coming forward, you will see that you won't even feel the punches as you come in. Just try to keep your hands up and work on slipping when you come in as well. You'll quickly see that the punches don't really hurt.
