blah i feel you :T
i used to be supershy. i also hated my voice and i probably talked so quiet you could barely hear me. it was debilating to my social life. and every now and then when someone mentions i'm quiet or asks how come i never talk, i take it as a step backwards. because to me, i've overcome a lot of it. sometimes, i'm just not in a good mood to talk tho! :P
i guess for me, i overcame it by building up my self-esteem. because if you hate yourself or the way you look or your voice or whatever, how can you make it better? it helped some when i started to realize people found me attractive, and that my voice was actually 'sexy'. but if YOU yourself think you're ugly (which for a good while, i did), then that won't do much good at all.
