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've always been shy but I've got some very outgoing friend's who have alot of confidence in themselves. When I'm with them I feel like I've got nothing to contribute to the conversation and feel useless which makes me feel even more shy. My friend's are great but I find it hard to be around them sometimes.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Maybe your friends are like how I am (though not many are). I'm sure they appreciate your company no matter what you contribute. Sometimes we, as people, just like being around the right souls; like much-needed frequencies.
As for self confidence, well that is something you have to build yourself. Your stature, or looks should not be the building blocks for this. When I look in the mirror I sometimes think that I am not very good looking, or I feel like a fool. These are the times where I should be slapping myself silly.
Outgoing people used to make me nervous. Now I just see them as who they are. Outgoing. If they think there is something wrong with me, then that is their problem. I know I am an introvert, and that I am very careful with whom I talk to and whom I choose to be friends with. I can count the number of true friends I have on two fingers. The rest are just aquantances that I see often.

i don't have many friends but i've had that experience many times with a few friends and especially with my wife.
if i go to a wedding with her she gets mad at me because she wants to talk/laugh/dance with everyone and i'm extremely uncomfortable with all of that. i wonder what's wrong with me that i can't be more like her and i feel like i'm embarrassing her in front of her friends.
i'm working on being comfortable just hanging out and being quiet, and reminding myself it's okay that i don't feel like talking. but that scenario is still one of my least favorite. i feel that way if i go to a work event of my wife's as well.
