Hmmm I'm in somewhat the same situation you are, having troubles meeting new people or getting over shyness (At the university, in my case)
However, in my case I eventually stopped caring about it when people to whom I barely ever said "hi" once or twice in two years or so started talking trash or making-up stuff about me. If people try to judge you like that and they don't even know you at all, you're better off without them.
Now, when I need to get over shyness for a reason or another (Mostly wanting to befriend someone or getting closer to achieving something) I just try to act natural and most of the time it works.
Just remember that people are supposed to like you, not another personality, just be yourself when you feel the persons are worthy of your time. Otherwise you can live without them, it just takes some time to get used to it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
