I'm not the most social person in a crowd, and don't like mass crowds, but not shy either, who knows if that makes any sense??? Figure can always leave if uncomfortable!! Have my times when I don't want to be messed with and want the world to leave me be!!!
Not intimidated by going places, or talking to people I don't know, (long as I can speak the language, all's good.)
Try to keep in mind a saying (don't recall who it's by)
"Every new day offers many gifts untie the ribbons !!"
Most of the time somthing simple, smile or a funny thought will do the trick.
If all else fails just take a pill !!
