I no, its hard, I had the same problem, but not quite to your extent.
There isn't necessarily a certain way to overcome this. You just have to think to yourself that if anyone judges you then they aren't worth your time, worries or thoughts. Its most likely that they aren't even judging you, you are just excessively worrying and get paranoid about it because you lack in self-confidence.
All you have to do is feel comfortable with yourself - your the same as everyone else and we all have worries and insecurities. Be yourself - if people don't like it then tuff - thats their problem. Also, if your more confident in yourself people are more likely to be friendly towards you as they will feel that you are comfortable around them so you confidence will grow further in return!
You'll always be shy - that's just your personality.
Just don't let it get to the point where you are stressing about it.
Good Luck!

I know that it is difficult getting over being shy but it is also something that you yourself want to do.
Try to speak to people, smile a little or better still a lot. Answer in more that just a few words when someone speaks to you, volunteer in class.
Confidence will come as you begin doing the above.
You think the worse. Do not think that you will be bullied or that people will not like you. be positive and think that people will like you.

You just need to raise your self esteem and you will be fine. You can go to this site among others to learn how to do that. Click on the link for self esteem but there is other good information there also. Good Luck to you!

You should meet new people,
Make friends,
Go out more,
Or go up to them and go hi I am so, and so..
