You have to concentrate on yourself. Make a list of everything that is good about you, all your different talents, etc. Read these everyday. Also realize that we are all alike. No one is better than any one else. It all comes down to self confidence, work on that and your shyness will fade. It takes awhile, but keep at it, it works.

It has been shown that temperament styles for children begin at an early age. Cognitions about their own personalities appear soon after, In child development the acceptance of others and the strength of peer-bonds can get rid of the anxious environment around socialization (shyness).
Shyness can be crippling, I've known people who were socially withdrawn but didn't see themselves as shy and some who seemed outgoing but still had the same anxiety about social situations.
To get over shyness, just try to become more social and also start viewing your already withdrawn attitude as a good thing. If you make a big thing about it, it will become harder to overcome. Start using a "I don't really care if I'm shy or not attitude". Begin socializing on the internet to help, but then gradually speak to everyone and anyone. A perfect example is in a store, just start a conversation they're PAID to socialize. Pretty soon you will desensitize the situation and eliminate you shyness.

I was painfully shy as a teenager - could not even looked someone in the eye to answer a question.
As I went to Uni, I took a course that needed me to work with people. It was difficult, but when you want to succeed, you try everything to be the best.
I had to conqure my shyness, I had to learn to talk to people, i had to learn to look people in the eye... It took years of conscious effort. It has not always been easy, but it is worth it.
Occasionally, when i feel it it like too much work, i resorted back to my shell... But it is nice to be out going. Give it a try.

I used to be really shy and then my parents made me join all these clubs and things when I went to high school...
At first I found it kind of difficult but it really helped. I met a lot of new people and found friends outside the people I would sit with at lunch...
It also gave me something to talk about when I would meet new people and it would make it easier to talk to them...

i went up against the challege of starting a conversation with my family members and then progressed 2 my close friends, who helped me 2 come out of my shell. i went out alot and shared my difficulties with those i knew and loved.
the best thing to do is to seek help from others, as you are doing.
well done!
