Do you think it would be possible for a shy person to overcome shyness to become a counselor of some sort?

I would like to help people overcome some of the same difficulties that I have faced in my life. I am extremely shy but I am working on overcoming that. What I am really trying to figure out now is whether or not majoring in psychology and striving to be a psychologist or counselor would be a realistic goal given my personality.

    Yes, definitely. Usually people outgrow their shyness when they become adults, especially if you work at it. Also after some experience it will be easier.
