First, figure out why exactly you are so shy. Is it because you are nervous? Afraid to embarass yourself? Feel like no one will appreciate your input? Once you are able to pinpoint why exactly you feel shy, you will be able to take steps to improve it! Remember, everyone makes mistakes, and people usually like it when you slip up once in a while. It shows you are not perfect and you are human. When you think about it, there is not a whole lot to logically be shy about! If you are nervous about meeting new people, practice! Join a club, organization, or community group, you'll be bound to meet new people and will always have a project to talk about! Soon, you will make friends that help you to feel confident about yourself, and your shyness, with work!, will begin to lessen!!! Just be sure of yourself, and don't be afraid to make the first move in starting up a conversation! Good Luck!! You can do it!! :-)

Do something that you'd like to do but feel too scared to do e.g. dancing- mojive (modern jive, quite easy to learn) it's best to find a friend to help you to do that thing that you are afraid of.
In my case I also suffer from shyness, but by doing things like mojive my confidence has increased greatly. Whatever it is that you find that helps you, continue to do it however scary it seems otherwise you will lose the confidence that you have gained.
So if it's dancing keep going dancing, if it's talking to complete strangers then make a daily habit of it. Good eye contact is key in growing in confidence and giving the impression of confidence.
The only way forward is the hard way but as you grow in confidence you will realise that it was worth all the effort......
