how can you somewhat get rid of shyness

Confront it and for self-esteem? Fitness will improve your confidence drastically when you come out of workouts feeling successful and like you accomplished something after demolishing the goals you set for yourself.

wah i knw what u mean >.< iv got social phobias and a horrible anxiety disorder >.< but iv found breaking out of ur comfort zone really doesnt work cuz usually when u do soemthin bad happens and it makes u recoil even more

1. Work on something enough to be awesome at it. 2. Display awesomeness gained.

It's like dancing at a party. Don't think about it and just do it. Sure there are people who are better than you at dancing but at least you're not feeling insecure and having way more fun.

"kick logic out and do the impossible" -Kamina from gurren lagann all you need

[overdramatic voice]As a thespian![/voice] I used to just act as a character who is identical to me in every way except for being more outgoing. Nowadays I mostly just push myself to be sociable before I can realize how utterly terrified of socializing with new people I am (a.k.a., Applied Social Sciences as taught by Kamina of Team Dai-Gurren University). I've noticed that getting drunk helps, but I've really only ever had one near-stranger around in either of the couple of times I was drunk (mostly just close friends), and while it makes me entertaining to other people it does make me obnoxious in the eyes of my future self.

In all honesty, if someone smiles alot, they seem less shy, at least to me. It's like in harem anime, when the protagonist tells a girl that they're cuter when they smile, the next day they seem like a whole different person, even though they haven't changed all that much.
