How do you become less shy?
I'm so shy I don't know the first thing about not being shy. It's persistently a problem and would like it to be less so. Any help appreciated.

Look within, see if you have some specific fear or self-doubt. Then tell yourself that you don't need approval or anything else from others, that you don't have to be appreciated or respected "like others", your own love and respect for yourself is enough.
Then go break the barriers - ask people how they are, just say hello.
Social interaction need not involve talking - listen to others, express sympathy or say a little something to encourage.
