Hi!
Like I said in my introduction thread, I was very shy when I was a kid. It was worst when I was a teenager. Bullying didn't helped me.
But about 15 years ago, I started to work in a museum. I worked as a guide and I had to do lots of public speaking. I had every group you can imagine (kids, teens, adults, families, elderlies, immigrants, tourists ...). And I had to do this public speaking in two languages.
By talking to them every day I started to build my self-confidence and my self-esteem. Eventually, I started to make jokes with people and I discovered that they were laughing at my jokes and not about me.
If you are shy, my best tip is to force you to take a job at public speaking. It's hard, very hard at the beginning but with the time and effort, it will help you a lot.
