I don't know. Every person is different, and has different reasons for their shyness. I used to be really shy myself, but you'd never know it now. I'm NOT, NOT, NOT making a suggestion here. I can't stress it enough that I'm not recommending it, but I got over my shyness I believe because of drugs. How does that work you may ask? Well, I've only drank alcohol, smoked marijuana, eaten a few mushrooms, snorted a few prescription pain pills, and tried acid once.
I would say that of all of those, the influences that did it for me were alcohol and marijuana because both of those make you lose your inhibitions and you don't think about things like "What's this person going to think of me?" It's really hard to explain without experiencing it, but like I said, I am NOT recommending it. Once I found out that people in general really couldn't care less one way or the other, it became easy for me to talk to complete strangers.
So how do you do it without drugs? That's actually a simple answer to give, and a really hard one to receive. Are you ready for it? You just do it. If you're with someone you really care about (which makes things harder because you REALLY want them to like you), and they really care about you, they won't care that your speach is going to come out a garbled mess. They'd just be pleased that you made the effort, most likely ask, "What are you talking about?" and then get you to explain yourself. It's breaking through the 5 feet of ice that's hard. Once you do that, the sinking is easy!!
So just pray about it, and gather up your courage. The first time will be the absolute hardest, and then it will SLOWLY get easier. But you have to set it in your mind to get through that first time.
