If I was doctor I would diagnose myself of shyness... if that was a sickness... and I think it is. I tend to be very shy... especially around the opposite sex... but.. I tend to be quite normal and outgoing with my friends... people I have a certain amount of confidence..

This shyness has brought a lot of problems in my life.. including various opportuniities to get a girl. I say the most odd things when Im around these.

I have a problem at looking at a persons eye.. I can only look straight to their eyes.. for a second or two.. then back to the ground.. I'm assuming thats a problem.

Any tips to get out of this nutshell?

Study conversational skills.

For example, if you are with two people who don't know each other well and aren't yet talking to each other, sometimes you can tweak the conversation a little toward a topic that you know they might both enjoy talking about. It's subtle, and you don't have to do much of the talking to have an affect on the conversation.
People like a good-hearted person who is a good listener.

There are books people have written on conversational skills. You'll enjoy confidence in yourself that most people don't bother learning about.
Most of our communicating habits are semi-conscious and intuitive. But it's fun to be consciously aware of some of it some of the time.
