Hello,
That depends, how do you talk to people? Do you say, "Hi." or "My name is ________." or "How are you?" I would say, choose carefully who you want to be friends with, come to them and introduce yourself. Maybe ask them what they like, then tell them something related- try to keep the conversation going. A tip, asking questions is a good way to keep someone in a conversation. If they know something/ a hobby like you, talk about it. Don't be too upset if that person doesn't become your friend. There is always a lot of other people who would be potential friends!
About the shyness, perhaps you could try to do some extra curricular activities. Join a sports team, club, foriegn language class, anything- this might build up your social skills and confidence. But, I guess to be rid of your shyness, you need to lose that label "shy" of yours from your mind. Ths will be your first step, when you lose this mentality it'll be easier for you to talk with others more smoothly because there will be no label to hold you back.
