Shyness is a direct absence of Self-Esteem. If you are a true good friend to him, then teach him about this basic principle first. Most people will resist the idea of loving themselves because they don't know how to laugh at themselves comfortably. So they come up with lame excuses like, "I am not handsome enough," or, "I am too fat," or "I don't think I am interesting enough," or "I am not smart enough," etc.etc..etc.etc..... You should teach him how to laugh at himself and how important it is to appreciate the positive side of his life. Once this is achieved, you will be surprised how quickly his shyness may disappear.

Talk to him and get him to start doing clubs and activities that many people like.Maybe it can bring his inner confidence.

nothing, there' s nothing you can do except lend him your ears and give him comfort
he himself will have to do something. you must not be the one associate with his depression and solution.
