You totally sound like me, who I am now. I'm even shy to speak up in this online community, strange huh. But what I'm discovering in my own journey to overcome shyness is kind of in-line to what Mantus said. To surround yourself with people who will foster your growth. For me it's spending more time with people who are adventurous and try new things, instead of my friends who just party all the time. Not that that's bad, but not conducive to what I want to accomplish.
Another thing that I'm eager to try is to take an acting class. In my mind that would help immensely to get over my shyness. One because you are exposed to a stage and an audience. And two, the best aspect, you get to practice and practice and practice. I would recommend a community college level as it's more geared to experimentation and not "acting" classes.
Thanx for sharing this entry, as I was too shy to share my experience, though I really wanted to. And I have a feeling that this group of people here are pretty darn cool and this community is a great place to help overcome shyness.
Take care and keep us in touch. =)
