stop seeking others approval and learn to like yourself, in this way the world around you and how they react will be less significant and you wont be afraid to speak up

As a shy person myself, I've found that what helps me is to stop battling my shyness itself. Shyness is a personality trait, just like being loud and boisterous, not a personality flaw. I used to get so consumed with the fact that I'm shy in a social situations and focus on trying to hide it, that I'd practically work myself into a panic attack. People who are shy are often very intuitive and thus sensitive to the slightest nuances in social situations. Try focusing on others in social situations and making them feel that you are interested in what they have to say, and the rest will flow from there. That will help to change your focus from yourself (and what you're worried the other person might be thinking about you) to the conversation. Besides, the best way for people to find you interesting is to make them feel interesting! Don't be embarrassed about being shy. It doesn't make you any less interesting as a person and many people find it endearing.

shyness is a sister of insecurity within yourself.
unless you remain unsecure - you will be always shy.
so
find something that you are good at about yourself may it be you are always on time for school, on time handing in homework, on time on everything that you commit yourself doing......
study yourself - you have great personality, you have great big legs, you have nice husky voice or sweet squicky voice, you have very nice complexion in your arms, you have shapely fingers, you are under five feet which is nice because you are not over five feet tall, you have an amusing sweet smile, you are a nice person, you have a best friend - others don't have a friend, you are funny, you are great to be with, find all that is good in you as a person....
hey
that should be enough... darn it...i'm tired typing here.
what's wrong with you. you are a great person...can you not be shy anymore???? don't be shy. you have not get your nose to balloon in front of your crush!!!!!
Ok. This is enough already. Just think of yourself as equal to others because we are all equal - no room for shyness. OK?

I used to be so shy that if anyone were to talk to me I would blush. I was always worried about what others thought of me. I think it may have something to do with self-esteem. Work on your true sense of self and a healthy self esteem. Not an inflated sense of self worth. Some may mistake the two. They don't get too far.
One thing that helped me out of my shyness was to start stepping out of my comfort zones. In other words if something made me feel uncomfortable, challenge and push myself with humility and calm to be in that uncomfortable setting. It can be daunting and sometimes embarassing. But always, always character building. You'll do well because you want to...go get them tiger.

alaq - shyness is basically a FEAR OF REJECTION. You're afraid that others won't like you so you hold back. Please realize that the people you are talking to are just as afraid as you are.
One way to let go of your fear is by learning to TAP use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Emotional Tapping. In EFT you apply gentle acupressure tapping to specific body points to release emotions (like fear). EFT is easy to learn (you can learn the basics in 15-30 minutes). You can use EFT anytime, anywhere for any emotional or physical issue. One basic round of EFT takes about one minute to complete.
Please download the FREE EFT Instructional manual from the EFT website (www.emofree.com). Also, please watch the FREE Introductory video.
There is another EFT website, Tapping.com, which offers 14 FREE Instructional videos. You can learn EFT while you're doing it!
Doing a couple of minutes of EFT a day will help to decrease your shyness.
Good luck
