Sure it is good to be cautious. But don't let your fear keep you from living. The best experiences in life come through chance and opportunity. If you are to afraid to take advantage of them you are only hurting yourself.
Consider this... For the most part when you meet people they feel as awkward and uncomfortable as you. So already you have common ground. There will be a time when people will try to prey on you, but you cant let that stop you from living.
So go out, meet some people and live... that is what life is all about.
Good Luck

Shyness is usually something someone does. But if you mean to act like something you're not. Um...no. Act like yourself. Look if you have a hard time trusting yourself with others...then work on trust yourself first. Think about what it is you want in meeting new people. Is it friendship? Just talking? Or maybe it is simply a relationship? If you have some idea what you want you can meet anyone and simply be yourself without hiding behind shyness.
Do not be covert. Accept who you are and enjoy others. Now after I have said this, it doesn't mean to tell your whole live story to people you have just met. They may see you as a person without boundaries. So be half and half. Learn your own limits and boundaries and set limits for yourself and other people.
Hope that helps.

If you're shy by nature, can you really control it? Anyway, there is a difference between being shy and being guarded. From past experiences, you may have good reason to be guarded at first.

It's never a bad idea to gurad yourself against certain feelings or emotions. As far as being shy goes, you'll never have the chance to experience new things if you dont get up and go. You guard yourself when it comes to falling in love to easily. Make sure you know it is love before pouring your heart out to that person. Otherwise, go for it.

No, it's not wrong, it's what you are comfortable with. Just don't act too stiff, people will think you are being rude when they're trying to be friendly.

YES! You need to loosen up. Otherwise you appear to be a snob to everyone else.
