You're not the only one. I will say that comfort often comes with practice.

I do pair programming sessions with people as part of my job. This has made me a substantially better at pair programming as part of interviewing (on both sides). Perhaps it would be worthwhile for you to time to work with some colleagues to build some of these muscles.

I do agree that alternatives should be offered if someone is uncomfortable.
