Just like anything else, it takes a little at a time. it takes practice. I used to be very shy and I lacked a lot of confidence. I really really fought to overcome it and I found opportunities in standing up in front of large groups and speaking. The more I did it the more confident I became. I bore the attitude that if I could confront a roomful of 2-300 strangers then I can confront a small group with confidence.
I am not saying that you should be a public speaker, but I encourage you to figure out ways that can help you out.
Be confident.
If it's something that's really bad, then maybe you should talk to your doctor sometimes shyness can indicate Social Anxiety Disorder.

You know it may be anxiety, which is mistaken for shyness sometimes....you might consult a doctor about this.....or if it is shyness, maybe the longer you hang out with the people the least shy you become

Sometimes you don't. But it's not a bad thing. I've been on the shy side for my whole life. I came to accept it. You can control it and force yourself to be more social, outgoing at times and when needed, but some people are just a little shier than others, and there's no harm in it. Accept it as an attribute, because many people find shy people appealing.

Find something in common with them ,so that you all will have something to talk about. Share little things about yourself, such as, you like to listen to the rain. Also practice looking in the mirror and pretend your reflection is that person and practice by carrying on a conversation with yourself while looking into your eyes. Also do affirmations everyday, be confident that person likes you, otherwise why would they invest time hanging out with you.

well you could first look them in the eye and try to connect to thier interests then take it to the next level and ask them to hang out whether its a slumber party at your house or a movie or just hanging out in general whever and if you still dont feel comfortable around these people maybe it just wasnt meant to be that you should be friends dont get me wrong you should keep cheering or whatever it is that you do as long as it makes you happy regard everything else and be happy for you not some one else.

Face your fears and talk about what you want to and do what you feel like doing. Chances are the people you are hanging out with will admire you for that.

just imagine you're talking to someone you feel really confortable with... your mum maybe?
Join a drama group too, that really helped me. Its scary at first but then you realise that everyone is in the same boat and they support you all the way!

Your insecure not shy. Depends on your age you may be in a phase right now, but it will get better as you age.

try joining groups such as dance and acting so you could meet new people and become able to perform in front of other people

It is a slow process that involves building up your confidence.
