Set goals that are obtainable. Like doing something that you have always wanted to do, it should be something that is challenging but obtainable, something that you can accomplish. Once you've done that move on to the next. Practice talking to people, roll play with a friend..practice makes perfect. As for letting what people say get into you head, if it's good stuff enjoy it, if it's unpleasant, tell them that it hurt you and that it is unnecessary to be cruel.If it pertains to cancer tell them, that if don't have something nice to say then don't say it. Be honest with your feelings and let people know.The best way to boost you self is be proud of WHO you are not WHAT you have. I'm very ill with a mixed connective tissure disease..I use it to build strenght..I'm a good, loving,caring and person..that's WHO I am. I'm not the disease!
Hope that Helps!
Take care and smile...laugh...be the example of a child of God!

I'm 26 years old and have had this same problem all my life. I'm highly shy, but eventually warm up to people who I've known for a while (about a year!). Part of the problem is my strong dislike of annoying OVERLY-outgoing people who never stop talking and are attention hogs. That's not desireable either. But I've been really working hard on being in the middle. People mistake my shyness for snobbish behavior, when I'm not at all. I just am highly sensitive to what others think of me. If you find out a good way to reduce your shyness, let me know!!

The only thing I can think of is if you're in school join a group or something like that..cheer, dance or something like that. That will help with the begin outgoing, as for people getting in your head, remember to take what people with a grain of salt.

Stop using being cancer as an excuse.
You cannot change whether you are outgoing or shy by nature, however you can remedy it.
Practice, practice, and practice!

I used to have the same little problem. I grew out of it once I turned 13. I don't know why. You'll get over it though.
