Shyness is not a problem or a sickness, it is just a limitation in your interface with the world. You can definately learn how to become less shy. A very well known approach is called: trial and error.
Follow through with your “what ifs” and your thoughts of fear, and in your mind turn them into “so whats”. Practise makes perfect…

Try to care less about what will happen if you spoke up, if you took an initiative, if it all turns out the wrong way in the end. Try to enjoy the roller coster of at least trying, without judging the right or wrong, the success or failure. Don’t be hard on yourself, just keep on trying to state your mind, as EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK UP!

If you happen to be an introvert, that doesn’t like loud speaking, extrovert people, and having to articulate your thoughts, well maybe there is some other medium that you can use?

I had a friend who always volunteered taking the notes of meetings. She didn’t speak up, but she had the opportunity of adding her thoughts into the notes, and many times they were really thought through input, that only the one who stays quiet and listens can capture…

So, take what is yours, don’t be too hard on yourself for whatever outcome, and enjoy growing outside your comfort zone!

Good luck!
