Force yourself to talk to people that you don't know at all, when you're out and about.......at the grocery store, at the library, on airplanes, etc. Heck, you'll never see them again. Then work your way up to people that you know, but not very well.......people at the office that you don't deal with on an everyday basis, for example. That should put you on the right road.

I kind of tend to work under the (mistaken) assumption that, if somebody wanted me to be talking to them, they would have talked to me first already. But when you initiate contact with most folks, you'll find that that's not the case at all.

So do you have any practical suggestions for how to combat shyness?
