It gets better with practice.

Everything. I have a lot of friends, but I find it difficult to interact with everyone I would like to. Romantic relationships are a sad story of that...... xD
Plus that I can't listen to people calling me shy.... It gets to my nerves, I have tried soo hard to change it and it doesn't change

Don't take being called shy too personally and being internally defensive about it. Instead, make light of it and maybe turn it into a joke.
From personal experience, it's from being very self-conscious, scared of saying the wrong thing and being perceived as awkward. You don't turn into a social butterfly overnight, but letting up of those fears and some self-acceptance can be a step to the right direction.

Yes this is the right approach.... I have tried that too. But I don't want to accept this fact about me xD. I know it I just don't want to hear it haha
I’m a little shy in certain social situations.. tho i can be very out going and playful around familiar company
I have read that shyness comes from being rejected early in life. For me for example I had some stupid kids in elementary school that made fun of me. I used to not give a crap back then but after junior high I wanted company so I had to interact with them.

I consider it being very selective about who I interact with.
And you shy when you choose TO communicate? NO!

Me too I am a different person and the life of the party when with friends and family. For the others I am either shy or play the part of being social and outgoing...

Now shy people. do you usually chase?what if you're into an even shier person? what do you do? then you're kind of forced to chase
or do you give up?
For me I am shy and a woman.. Double of a problem in dating. I don't think men are yet relaxed and satisfied with women chasing them. Also I am not into more shy people than me. I fall for people that are more extroverted and cool always.

I joined dxp to help me come out of my shell. I've never had any social media before joining dxp 😱
