i actually went from shy to comfortable as an introvert. i sing in public, dance, joke around, behave spontaneously. I still get drained from extended social interactions but I am quite ok at conversation and building connections.

being shy means you feel uncomfortable and do not possess social skills.

being an introvert just means you would prefer to do introvert htings like think to yourself, read books, do art, rather than go to a loud party.

you don't need to be an extrovert to be successful with people/life - just comfortable enough in your own skin to express yourself.

to get there you need social experience. get out there and join organizations, make friends, etc.
