Well tbh with gaming commentary no one really see's your face unless you add a video of your face so they don't know you. If you are confident enough to begin YouTube in the first place then obviously you are confidant :). In my video's I make myself look like an idiot but I don't care because it's something I love to do :)

I am a confident person and I am also an extrovert....but something about just sitting here talking to myself makes me shy/awkward. I am trying to shake it off.

It's tough to get over. Once people start to appreciate your work heavily, you will look at it differently and feel proud of your work! and BTW YOU ARE NOT BORING.
 
Just be yourself and keep practicing! I recently started gaming videos and I know my commentary is boring, but eventually I'll figure it out. Just get yourself into a completely silly mood. Drink like energy drinks until your hyper xD lol.
 
Hmm... I can understand how you feel. Its hard to break out of your comfort zone and be more charismatic when you're not used to something. What helps me is this: I have a best friend who makes me act all crazy and goofy whenever I'm around her. We feed off each others energy and are ridiculous when we're around each other. So when I film my videos I try to act how I would act if she was there with me. After all, she will see my videos later and I want them to be something she could enjoy. It helps a little.

And don't feel self conscious. You said you feel like even your cat is judging you, but you need to remember its not: you are. You are judging you and its only doing yourself a disservice. So relax and do your thang :) Be who you want to be: yourself.

As for the mic, maybe you need a new one? Or maybe you need to adjust the settings? I'm not a technically savvy person so I can't help you there xD
 
when i'm doing commentaries i just say f**k it and talk to the mic like if i'm talking with my friends

but the enthusiasm of your voice needs to be heard... hope i helped
