First you need to love yourself. You have to realize that you are someone that people WILL find interesting. Step out of your comfort zone and strike up a casual conversation where ever you go. The bank, grocery store, the mall....comment on someones cute baby, ask for advice on a product. Taking small steps like these will get you far!

Have confidence, instead of saying i don't have confidence everyday when you wake up tell yourself I am so very confident I could run naked through the streets or well I am so confident that no one can make me feel less then who I am, I am big not small I am smart not dumb, things like this. Everyone makes mistakes, says and does stupid or clumsy things once in awhile laugh it off everyone will soon forget about it anyway and it is natural!
The more you socialize, the more dating, the more out going and active you become the less shy you'll be.... Relax do new things and just go with the flow never try to impress anyone you are you and you are beautiful just the way you are!!!!

Speaking as the Queen of Shyness, I would have to say that
confidence is something you develop over time.
When I was very young, I was petrified with answering the telephone until I was thrown into a job that required I take
calls, 20-30 times a day. I had to learn to face my fears.
After six months or so, I discovered that I actually liked answering the telephone and managed to develop a very good
knack for it.
Now my husband says, He can't get me off the phone!!
But getting back to your problem.
Shyness is very normal and very natural.
Try taking up some classes, like acting or singing.
Be bold and try to overcome your fear.
You will find, that over time, you will be confident and self-assured and will actually enjoy being seen and heard.
Good luck, keep smiling : )

You have to have confident in yourself. I was shy most of my teenage life and once you start living up and just being yourself, your personality starts to come out. But you have to have more faith and confidence in yourself. Try something different sometimes and just live a little. Its takes some getting used to cause you've been shy for so long but trust and believe you will love the outcome.

I would highly recommend you put your mind to work on becoming a public speaker..I know it souns crazy and more often than not people fail at it..But I assure you that if you take a course from say a Dale Carneige Institute, your local debating club, join a toastmasters club..Your confidence level will soar to great heights..Please understand most people are scared to speak in public..So a person who can master that will be head and shoulders above others and will be looked up to..It takes guts and some knowledge of what you speak..Take notice next time you talk to someone..Look them in the eye and whatch them look away..people have a hard time talking and looking at others especially right in the eye balls..Once you master skills like reading body language, looking at people when you talk..You'll be ok and life will be much more pleasant..Good luck

I used to be shy, and when I tell people now, they're surprised. I realised over time that most people don't care what you do unless you hurt them, and when it came down to it, I didn't much care what they thought of me anyway. So I endeavoured to go my merry way (without hurting anyone) and they seemed to like me just being me. In fact, I've found that the less you care what people think, the more they like it.

Go to the library, and get books on self esteem. Try working on yourself. I use to be so shy, but thank God, I am not now.

Wow, that's a good one. Well all I can tell you is what I did. Typically shyness is caused by a fear of what others will think of you. They'll think you're dorky, they'll think you're - whatever. One day I woke up and said "Why the hell do I care what other people think of me? The only person who has to be happy with me is myself."
