Intimidated by uni professors?

I am normally a very self-confident person (among peers and people in general), but for some reason I´m quite intimidated by my uni professors. It annoys me a bit. It´s no problem in seminars or stuff, but in office hours when it´s just the two of us. I don´t even know why - I like my subject very much and I guess when someone who is an expert in that field tells me I´m good at it, I feel happy. Like, that it´s just not in my head.
Does anyone feel the same? How can I be more relaxed?
Im guessing you feel intimidated by the fact that they are an expert in their field? Just try to remember you are there to learn and they know that, they won’t be judging you
I used to feel intimidated when I was in 1st year. The lecturers acted all aloof. Now they're all cracking jokes and acting more human. I'm convinced they acted that way to see if we could hack it through 1st year. I remember it being so awful.
