I can't do much apart from offer sympathy - i'm at a similar level of tailwheel experience, and I don't like crosswinds much either. I'm getting better, but still tend to stay on the ground if it looks like it might get beyond me. Overcautious, probably, better safe and all that.
As for groundlooping, I haven't done it ... yet. I've seen FNG groundloop though
and they were rather graceful. In fact as a very low-hours student who didn't know about groundloops, I thought he was showing off...
