Being shy is natural for allot of people and there is really nothing wrong with being a shy or quite person. It is just your personality to be a little more laid back and blend into a crowd instead of being the center of one.
I think that most of us always see other people as being more or having more to share in social settings than ourselves but if you really come to understand people we are all pretty much the same. Our level of shyness changes with different people that we associate with depending on the level of intimidation you feel when dealing with certain people.
If you really want to get over your shyness you will have to better understand what makes people tic and how you can better interact with others and build some confidence in yourself. You have to understand that people are just people so I'm going to recommend some good books that will help you better understand people and interact better in social settings.
