It's like working out - it doesn't really feel "good" to lift heavy weights or run for miles, but once you start to see the changes in your body and your health levels, you realize it was all worth it. And, remember, you're anonymous. Aside from being hung up on, what is there to fear? In regards to the DNC, get a telephone farm list from your title rep - the numbers should be checked against the DNC list so you are safe to call. Another trick is to call on the pretense of doing a survey - once you get them talking, then ask about buying or selling.
