Well thanks for the compliment!
Shyness is tough. It's generally best to take things slowly. For instance, you might try just by smiling at random people that you see. That alone helped me gain more confidence, and the response is almost always positive. They'll often say hi, too, and that gives you a chance to say hello back. It's simple, but it can be hard, I totally realise that. It's helped me, though.
If you get comfortable doing that, you might even say hello first. If they smile, it's a good indication that they're receptive to your greeting.
In school, you might try volunteering to answer a few more questions. When you get comfortable with that, you might even try asking the teacher something. It's especially wise if you don't understand it, but even if you do, you might want to ask for clarification just to practice.
If you see someone sitting alone in the cafeteria, approaching them might not be too intimidating. Recognise that you might eventually get rejected, but that it doesn't make you any less of a person. Chances are, most people will welcome you.
If you do any volunteering, you might be able to approach people in that venue. If you could find a place to volunteer, that would be good too--it automatically means you share similar interests! Try and find a place where you would be comfortable, for instance an animal shelter.
Simple things like thanking a salesperson might help too. When I was really shy, I would try to thank the bus driver, and it helped develop my confidence. Plus, the driver seemed to appreciate it!
Take any small opportunity that presents itself. A friendly gesture almost always gets a friendly response, which leads to more confidence and a positive experience in general. And hey, the fact that you're able to communicate your shyness online is a good sign! Wanting to work on something takes guts, further proof that you have the guts to change it.
Best of luck to you.
