Hi D.C, Yours is a tricky situation, being "shy" around certain people, though not unusual. In my many "wasted" hours of sleeplessness as I surf the WWW, I come across similar questions and pleas for help, though the same advice rarely works twice. Peopl are individual.
However, I have compiled a few helpful tips and maybe there's one or two of them that could help in your situation. This is a link to my Multiply site, fingers crossed, you may find what you are looking for.

You need to believe in yourself. Apparently you are not self confident enough and so you can start by thinking, being and acting positive when around strangers. Note that you are your own critic in these situations as you engage in negative thoughts which makes you feel unworthy of others. However you should try and let go of what others think of you- just be yourself and embrace your unique being. You can also practice to create small talk to break the tension.

If you are out in public and someone wants to meant or get to know you, don't be afraid. Get out there in life and take changes as they come. Yes when you first meat a person they are a stranger, but once you get to know them; don't see them as a stranger anymore.Think more positively about yourself meeting more people.

Being shy has to do with one feeling inferiority. You feel that they are better than you. Forget what people think. Life is short, so live it up.
