Shyness

Well I am such a extremly shy person. I mean I can get active when I am around people that I know well but if you bring a new person around me I usually gey really shy. I try to give myself lots of confident by telling myself that I am very beautiful but...

when it comes down to going around the public I get very ashamed of myself. I know that you shouldn't and you should lover yourself but I just don't know. I need to learn how to speak up, and talk to people. Any advice?

start with small talk, try to find something everyone likes, or one thing you both like and work with that, talk until you get cmfortable with them, and imagine you've known them for awhile

well if your in a group bring up a topic with your friends and if a new person that you dont no is there ask them about that topic. like say you sarted talking about the beach you could ask the new person have you ever been to the beach? something like that
