Im tired of bein shy?

my friend...i used to be the same way when i was a teen...i am still a shy type of person but nothing like i used to be...before i couldn't even talk to people without being afraid they would judge me...i broke the first barrier by just being myself and not caring what other people thought..i started making friends...i had maybe 2 friends before i changed...now i know at least 30 to 40 people...my next problem is i couldn't even talk to women...i just got nervous and afraid they would judge me...i once again broke that and said to myself screw it...if they like me they like me if not who cares...just dont be afraid...if a person wasn't in your life before then you'll survive without them if they dont like you...it'll take some time but eventually you will be able to do just about anything...i still have that shy side in me today...i have to get to know a person before i will open up...that's more because i dont wanna get involved with the wrong people...i let them show me their true side before i show them mine...
