I'm still working on it, to be honest. However, I'm much less shy than I used to be when I was younger.

I've realized the pace of the transition increases exponentially once you actually start exposing yourself to more social interactions. Be more open, talk to a more diverse range of people (different ages, sexes etc.), but most of all, don't be afraid to make mistakes. If you make a mistake and "fall off track", just pick yourself back up again and carry on.
