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.

First of all, it's okay to accept your introverted nature and it doesn't need to be changed. If however, it feels like it's a problem, get out of your comfort zone. Start by saying hi to a number of strangers. Initiate conversations about anything that comes to mind. It's gonna feel shitty but it makes a significant difference in the long run.
Look at it this way, you have two difficult choices, staying shy to the point it serves as a barrier or feeling uncomfortable to help with your confidence. They're both difficult. Choose which difficult you want.
