Hey, Trance-Sista', help is on its way! 
Here's the way I deal with my shyness. It works for me - so, it will work for anybody 
You see, all the time I faced (and still face) stupid situations (or is it me who makes them stipid? ), as a result of which i used to blush, get embaressed and felt frustrated really awesome. I couldn't even ask a shop assistant where I can find product i was looking for or to tell a bus driver to stop where i needed. Well, I wasn't all that shy, but sometimes it really put me down.
But, gradually I realyzed that selfconfidence (as opposing to shyness) won't appear from nothing. You need to train constantly, when you face embaressing circumstances. In a time some kind of confidence reflex will be developed. Just imagine (for guys): you're in a new company, that mostly consists of hot girls. You feel yourself quite uncomfortable. And your friend, to whom you just whispered what you want to do with the most beautiful girl, loudly says that while laughing. You pale, then blush, sweat or feel cold and that girl laughs louder that anybody else . Get it? (for girls it's vice versa)
All your fears is just a disease, which you need to overcome to develop immunity. But, this immunity, despite natural one, require constant support and backing. And, once you'll develop it, it will block this crappy feeling of embarassment and will give you neccesary self-confidence, you always wanted. 
So, train yourself everyway you can!
For example, always buy condoms at a drug store, not in those vending-machines (?). At a begining it's quite frustrating, 'cose everyone starts gigling and stuff 
Hope it will help you, just as much as it helped me

I think I have the best solution for shyness. It might work for some of you, I know it works for me. Have a couple of drinks But don't drink beer, drink hard stuff, but not too much. Works for me most of the time. Usually about 6 does the trick for me, just to get the talking buzz. |
Another good trick, but you can't be all the time boozed
