I mean a person who will not even say two words to another person unless they have known them for a time.

First and foremost, this person needs professional help--friends and family aren't equipped to help the person on their own. Second, people that this person trusts have to be careful not to reinforce the fearful behavior. Don't indulge the fear by being extra kind to the person when they are in a fearful state or catering to their phobia; don't be mean either. Ignore the fearful behavior to the best of your abilities. Act like it isn't happening as well as you can. Third, baby steps. Try to get the person out in public--walks in the neighborhood, grocery or clothes shopping, coffee. This person should be in low-key social environments every day. Multiple people the person trusts can go out for coffee or lunch together so that the person is conversing in public. When that becomes comfortable, have them order the coffee, pay for the groceries, ask a salesperson for help, etc. Small successes add up and build confidence. As for jobs, look for jobs in your area that do not require much social interaction, but not isolating jobs either as that will foster the fearful behavior. This is a ton of work and as I said, requires professional help, so please don't try to do it all on your own. Good luck.

Perhaps "arrange" an interview with a friend in a company and accompany this person to the meeting. ASk your friend to be engaging and encouraging in order to build up the timid person's confidence. It may take some effort and a bit of time but confidence and self assurance might bring them out with the proper guidance and strokes.

Timid doesn't mean stupid, so I guess this person is intelligent and has some talents. I would make him know all the this he capable of doing so as to make stronger his self confidence. I would recommend him a job where he didn't need to have so much contact with people. Psichotherapy is also necessary.

Help them apply for as an online reperesentative at 1800contacts.com. He won't even say a word. All he has to do is sit in front of a computer for 10 hours a day and help people.

Cut off all financial means. Work or starve.
Okay--let me be serious here, that ought to be the mindset. But the best thing you can do is involve this person in small groups, get them in toastmasters or find a mentor to practice with. Take this person to business people that YOU know and have them practice interview. Practice their butt off. Talk talk talk talk talk. And wake up tomorrow and talk some more. it's like an intense cramming session that can last a month.

Try putting them near other people. Maybe take them to lots of public places and have them do small stuff like ask for the time. Or asking how much something costs in a store.
You could also get someone that they don't know to practice with them.

Tell them...if you keep avoiding people or anything else out there...it means you're running away from your problem. The more your run away...the more they chase you...
You'll never know if you try...don't be afraid if your get rejected or hurt...there's always something you can learn from them...
You have to face problems anywhere anytime...so just face it...there's always first time for everybody...once you did your first time...the second time will be a lot easier...
My dad told me that long long time back. I acted like I didnt care, but then I thought about it a lot and decided to change myself!

This person sounds very shy and has a social phobia. They need some type of proffesional help to overcome this. Its nothing to be ashamed of many many people suffer silently with this. Often meds are prescribed that help.
