I got thrown, somewhat inadvertently, into a "service writer" position at a car dealership in my young 20s, when I was still extremely shy/awkward. It's basically service department sales. It was a hopping dealership, a well run money making machine and we were constantly hammered with business. Doing this job somewhat forced me to be more sociable, as the boss asked us to constantly 'build rapport' with our customers. The other thing I realized was that I could be really loud in public and it drew attention to me. So I would do that intentionally. Just be really loud when ordering food at a restaurant or checking out or looking at stuff ... any time. This gets you used to being the center of attention, which is what 'shy you' doesn't want, and 'shy you' ends up disappearing over time.
