You might want to dig deep into the "being more at ease with myself" aspect. What is your self-talk telling you? What are you afraid of? etc. It helped me to realize and accept that extroverted people are so preoccupied with themselves and their image that they barely notice others. Once I accepted that I am basically invisible to them, I don't bother making my views, opinions known. Instead I ask questions and direct the conversation into areas that interest me or just excuse myself and walk away. I don't have to prove anything to anybody.
