Shyness Support Group
Shyness is a feeling of insecurity that certain people experience while being among others, talking with others, asking favors of others, etc. The initial cause of shyness can vary. Scientists have located some genetic data that supports the hypothesis that shyness is at least partially genetic.
I don't really know if there's tips for that, you just have to go and see how it turns out. I used to shy away from certain things because of all of the "what if" scenarios, but then realized that I was just missing out. Being in big social settings is very overwhelming by its OKAY if you just talk to two out of ten people. At least you're still interacting. It'll probably get easier the more you put yourself out there. :)
