I am way too shy to even talk to my own family and way too cautious to make friends. I thought of changing my personality into becoming more of an outgoing person, but everyone else says that is changing who i am. well no one wants to be the shy one in the corner with no friends to talk to 24/7, and quite frankly it makes my life boring.

How do I overcome shyness to become more of a "friendly" person?

simple things to remember:

1- don't worry about sounding stupid.
2- don't worry about not being liked.

if you can get over these two fears, then you'll be fine.

you know those things you share with friends, that you don't share with other people because it might sound stupid?

just go ahead and say it.

you don't have to change your personality. all you're doing it letting more people see it.

talk to random people.
