Answers:
make the liquor colder - the colder it is, the less the alcohol wants to vaporize, which means less burning. Keep the bottle in the freezer (it can't freeze, it will just get really cold.) And you'll be downing shots faster and easier.
I'm not going to suggest you use chasers, because that's just going to make you look more inexperienced. You just need a few seconds after a shot to recoup, and you're fine. If you must, just take a sip of something afterward. Little snacks are good too, like bite-size pretzels.
You could also get you or your friends to make "shooters", which is meant to be taken in one shot, but it will be fruity, or creamy, or some combination of flavors. This website has tons of recipes:

Also, if you're really not in the mood to take a shot, just try to avoid it. I know some people like to get their friends wasted, but if you really didn't want to take a shot, and you'd rather have a mixed drink, I don't see how they could have a big problem with that.
I think people just learn as they go. It's not hard. And if you start putting too much effort into it, you'll probably become a master at it, and then your friends will feel incompetent about THEIR own shot-taking skills. Ya know, don't pressure yourself.
Have a better chaser!
Plug your nose as you down the shot. You'll be able to handle it better. Have a chaser (water, pop, beer, etc.) to wash it down with.
just swallow it down like medicine.
Try taking girly shots like a washington apple or slippery nipples. they are sweet and earier to swallow.
i suck too, it hurts real bad and there's not much u can do. the most important thing is to be still, becuz if u move and they mess up, u might need surgery....
Don"t sip, take in 1 go and swallow asap, if need be have an alco pop or something to follow
Try putting a little of what ever you are chasing it with in your mouth first, but do not swallow. Then take the shot. Throw your head back at the same time use a quick flick of the wrist to shoot it.
Without a chaser do not breath through your nose. Throw the shot back quickly and swallow without breathing through your nose.
some people just weren't made for shots, just like one person might be able to chug a beer in 4 seconds that is definately not the norm. stop drinking to impress people and just drink to enjoy them, sipping a shot doesn't make you a sissy
have a good chaser on hand quickly or jus swallow like there's no tomorrow so you won't taste it.
Why try to get better at something that doesn't benefit you. Next time your friends suggest a shot do what I do and tell them that" only alcoholics do shots and that I like to enjoy my drinks" sip on a margarita and laugh at them when they get drunk.
