If you're just starting to try to sell, negotiate, recruit, or do anything of high significant with people you don't already have a warm introduction to, at some point you're going to get hit with a barrage of objections and "cross-examination."
You'll very likely fumble the first time or two it happens, and might get demoralized.
Don't.
It's a tremendously good sign. When people are very seriously interested, they hit you with questions from all sorts of angles related to risk and details you haven't thought through before. You might not have great answers on the fly, and you might lose whatever deal or sale or input you're looking for.
But it's actually a tremendous milestone. It means you get real tangible points to work on and get better answers to. And it means people are interested in what you're doing.
People are more frequently kind and nice to people they won't work with, because why not be? But when you're getting objections and really targeted questions, you're closer to success. Celebrate that, even if you fumble your answers initially when it happens. That's normal, and it means you're closer than ever.
