The fact your quiet maybe because you don't have many friends, which also could result into your uncomfortableness around others. Nothing is wrong with you, nor should you hate yourself. It takes time to make friends and develop confidence, even if you had it before. One of the best ways to speed this up, is to make friends. Now I'm not telling you attempt to make friends with everyone at once, I'm saying that friends will help. Let them come to you, as through group projects at school or if they just suddenly talk to you, those tend to be the more loyal ones and develop relations faster.
And now to contradict myself, confidence can't be loss, only earned. You might feel like your insecure and self conscious, but its only because you holding back. The old you is there, it just needs place to express itself freely. And to find the old you again, just do something you love to do that others will join in with you to do. You should see that your still yourself, you just didn't have any place to express it. [ Psycotheis's advice column | Ask Psycotheis A Question ]

Like you have no purpose and you have yet to find it. I know that helping people, that is mine. Maybe you're just changing and you don't know what to expect.
But even if you do find what your reason is, it still isn't enough.
What I highly suggest is going to a book store and spending the day there. You might not be a true fan of reading but you will just have to trust me on this.
Pick out your favorite things in life. Vampires, ghosts, high school drama, etc. and find a book that has that in store.
A book maybe what you need to just be able to grasp what has ever come your way. You probably don't know what is going on but serching through books to find a story that is told like yours, will help you. More ways than one.
That is what I did. Whenever I fell into a deep dark hole or I needed to tune out the drama going on at that exact moment. I pulled out a book and was lost somewhere else.
A book opens up new doors and thoughts for people. They are what others create just in words and on paper. It is just good to know you can open a book and read your life on several pages.
