I'm shy, too.
It's not that I'm afraid of meeting new people, though. I'll talk to strangers. I can generally make friends if I'm in a setting where I have none already.
My problem is public speaking. I cannot stand being in front of a crowd. As I have Comm. Skills next semester, I can foresee that as a problem. It's just that when I get up in front of people, I start to shake. My voice shakes, my body shakes, and I basically fall apart right in front of people.
I don't know what causes this reaction in me, whether it's that I'm afraid of people or what they will think of me, or what. I've tried everything imaginable, from looking at everyone's left ears instead of into their eyes to imagining them in their underwear.
Nothing works. The shaking persists.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
