well, this should help :)
Decide what exactly is bothering you, and why. Do you become shy in front of audiences, or when you meet new people? What about it makes you shy?
Practice standing tall, and speaking in a loud, clear voice. Standing tall gives the world the impression that you are a strong person and feel good about your abilities.
Find situations where you know you feel comfortable. Surround yourself with friends or others who bring out the best in you, and build up your confidence through them. Eventually, this will translate to other, more uncomfortable situations.
Be yourself. If you are constantly trying to hold your true personality in, it can be difficult to feel comfortable around other people.
Face the fear that is bothering you. Smiling is a good way to start, and shouldn't be too embarassing. A small smile in the direction of a stranger may just brighten your day, and will brighten theirs, too! When you're prepared, you can try speaking to new people, using a light, friendly attitude. Be yourself!

Well to tell the truth i was the shy type just like you. I overcome my shyness by hanging around with someone that is wilder and much more live than myself. I'm not telling u to act like that person but maybe just being in their presence n seeing how they act will help u out.

If they invite you, they want you to come. Just stop worrying about what other people are thinking and go have a good time!
