remember that it’s all in your head… your reality is what you choose to make it (be it a conscious or subconscious decision)

there is a motivational preacher in the US. Dr.Robert Schuler. He said "Assume a virtue – and it is yours". But then again it might be that your shyness, is a noticed difference in the way that new friend presents themselves in different situations, or that the friends that he/she has that are new to you have different values and ideas than you are used to, and you are working through how to both be yourself and not offend the new friend. Some times this can be a difficult situation to live through, but it is good practice, because it is a situation you will face many times in your life if you want to grow and become an effective speaker and deal with many kinds of people with different thoughts and personalities.
