I recently had a problem with yorkers,I just told one of my friend to throw balls(not bowling,throwing)from 12 yards away with a flat trajectory(like malinga's arm)and all i did was blocked a few and played leg glances to some,i told him to keep on varying his speed and i concentrated hard and played my shots,it worked for me...now m more confident against yorkers.

When you glove a catch to the keeper, rub your arm to try to fool the umps into thinking that it hit you there.

When you are having a problem facing the spinners,try getting a big stride out and playing them,that will make them shorten their length and you will get easy balls to cut, and if they don't shorten their length you will still be able to play them easily as you will get more overpitched stuff and their rythm will also be disturbed.Also try to use your feet every now and then to keep them guessing about what you will do next.

It depends, first thing is that you should have good reflexes when u want to play very fast bouncers with ease. Improve your fitness and footwork if u feel very uncomfortable against fast bouncers.
Secondly, just simplify things in your mind, it makes things easier, like being aware of just two things, that if the ball is short i wil go right on the backfoot and if its not then i will play from the front foot, other things are naturally taken care of if u practice a lot, don't think about ten things when you are batting.
Start by defending a bouncer and then attacking it when you feel confident.

^ +1 to the comment about practicing, its such a cliche but you will never be an accomplished batsman without putting in the effort where it reaches a point that predicting the balls line/length and your shot selection becomes second nature.

Whats makes you feel uncomfortable?

Getting hit or playing or strokes? Or maybe a combination of the two, where you find it necessary to protect yourself yet still attempt to strike the ball away with a shoddy pull shot?

Ask someone to throw tennis balls at your body. Learn to Whack them on the front foot like a baseball batter.

Duck if too high.

The conventional pull shot can only be played against spin.
