[I'm 18yrs old] I've been trying to resolve my shyness for quiet a while now, and still looks like im the hole, today I have come to the conclusion that one of the strongest points of my shyness is my low self-steem, i dont talk/talk low because im scared of someone making fun of my adcent , i always take a look at my clothes to check for any stain, i dont talk to very social friends because i feel kinda inferior than them, when i hear someone laugh when i pass by them i think they are laughing at me, and i always avoid participation in something. These are the main thing i see, but i know there are more, Evryday i try to look confident by walking straight, chin up, and barely look down, but inside im still the low-self steem self, Im trying to beat this but i dont have support, [ithink] i need someone to push me, someone that check my progress, My goal is to beat it because im really scared of this affecting my future.

The only person who can change how you perceive yourself is you. How you feel about yourself shown on the outside, the way you carry yourself, the tone of your voice, making eye contact with people, those are signs of confidence. Think of the things that runway models have to wear. Some times they have to wear potato sacs and high heels, and it is up to them to make that outfit look good. It is the way they carry themselves and walk straight and keep good posture. Not what they themselves look like, but how the look!

There a few things that you have to realize, 1 that most people don't have any effect on your day to day living so why should you care what they think???
2- Most people are just as worried about how they are perceived by you to worry how you think that they are thinking of you!
3- Remember that they are people just like you and that they worry about the same things that you are so treat them as you would want them to treat you and you should have little problems making friends. It will take a while to start doing this but if you do it will help you relax around others.

No, I have high self esteem. I used to for like 7 years hahaha. I stopped feeling bad last year. I overcame it through compliments from attractive homo sapiens of the male persuasion.
