I feel the same sometimes. I am very self conscious and shy when around people I dont know. It will take time to become confident, but it is the key to being a more social person. I suggest going in front of the mirror (and i am NOT kidding) and find all the things you just love about urself. eyes, hair, even something like ur eyebrows. and try to play them up a bit. one pimple means nothing in the long run. also, life is not about looks, its about ur personality. looks with only get u so far. there is one girl in my school: gorgeous, but WHAT A *****. none of the guys really like her (except for that one night). and if everyone is telling u that u are pretty, then its true. nobody would lie about that. so just remember that looks are not everything and keep saying, damn i am HOT. and go and talk to that guy. the outcome will so be worth those two minutes of fright when u say the first words. good luck!

Take good care of yourself, and be a good person. Beyond that - I really think there's no substitute for experience.
What really helped me was finding friends who cared about me in spite of all my flaws, but sometimes only experience can help you find them. But having people who love you *anyway* can let you know that you are a special, likable person even if you don't have qualities like being outgoing.

Stop caring about what other people think about you! But seriously--
People spend more time thinking about what OTHER people think of them to worry about what they think of you. Everyone is so worried what the next person thinks about them.. stop caring and realize that you're above what most people are doing!

how you think people look at you is really just how you look at yourself. Stop doubting yourself and you will be fine.
