Overcoming shyness and talking more. help?

Some people are outgoing, and some people are shy and quiet. I'm shy and quiet, its just who I am. It might not seem like it, but being shy cause me to not get this job that would be highly beneficial to me.

I hate doing presentations in class, I'm awkward to have conversations with, due to not talking alot, and so on.

Im trying to find ways to overcome this. I have gotten better within the last year or so, but I really want to overcome this. Im wondering if anyone has been shy before, and found ways to overcome it. Please share your stories and what you did, and maybe give advice please!

    Just try to be more open, join in conversations more, make sure when you have conversations that you try to keep it light so it doesn't die out or become awkward :)

    You can over come shyness by realizing you have more to lose by being shy than being out going.
