I struggle with this problem too, so your predicament touches on something with me.
It is drastic because in this situation, you have to be drastic. Shyness a is kind of hesitation.
You are about to do something,
but you catch yourself and say 'well what if'.
Then you backslide from your motivated position to
'maybe i shouldn't', and so, with one hesitation,
you've gone from 'doer' to 'didnter'.
So you just have to smother that initial hesitating voice and think drastically about things. If I don't do this, it is one more wasted opportunity in my ever-shortening life.
Every time I've taken a risk where i smothered the initial hesitation it has paid big dividends (not in money).
