I bite shy people. In fact, I make curry out of them and feed them to the poor for iftar during Ramadan!
Kidding :) (well only my lil nephews and cousins).
Shyness is a part of iman, so Allah has blessed you with something good.
Look for a small group of friends for yourself to go out with to the local park for like 30 minutes or so. These'll be your buddies and one's who you probably won't feel so shy being with. Go to Islamic gatherings with them and at righteous places but wherever you are,
be yourself. Those whose hearts are close to Allah will love having you as their friend. This'll help you get used to being around other people.
Right now being a shy person, you're probably thinking all the time about becoming the most popular person. It's not really about that when you socialise, it's about being yourself and having a good time. Don't let your insecurities make you feel as though you are inferior to others. Allah has put you in this world because the world needs someone like you.
Relax. Be yourself. And get out there.
