What do I do about my shyness?

For a very long time now a have be dealing with my extreme case of shyness, it has over taken my life. It is impossible for me to make friends at school and I have given up hope of ever having a boyfriend. I really just don't know what to do. If you have...

any ideas of what I should do please respond! thanks

you need to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. everyone is little shy when it comes to certain things, some more than others. you need to set up a list of things that you cant do right now because of your shyness and get a calandar or agenda book. each week give yourself one or two goals. week one: talk to nice girl who sits next to you in math. week two: join a club week three: talk to girl a again, go to second club meeting, answer a question in class once a day. week four: talk more to the girl, go to third meeting, answer two questions a day, look up while walking in the halls.
you see? each week you will have a tiny goal, but they will progressively add up and soon you will be thinking of things you never thought possible!
please funmail me if you need more advice!!!
