How do i become unshy?

Its a tough time in life right now, everyone has gone through what youre going through, even if its at different degrees. Start off small try asking a stranger what time it is, ask a store clerk for help finding something etc. Gradually build up and work on not caring what people think. Always do the activities that define who you are and eventually you will be happy with yourself and you won't care what others think. You may never be overly outgoing but who cares as long as you are who you are.
