Stop being shy. Get up and get moving. Come out of your "happy with my own self" nook for a while. Approach people, talk to them, make new friends. Don't be afraid to express your feelings. There's no harm in you making that "first move" or sending that "first message". Be gentle and warm with everyone. Make them feel welcoming and loved when they approach you. Not everything comes walking to you. Learn to put in some efforts. And most importantly, don't give a darn if the person you approach doesn't seem to be interested in making friends with you. Not every one is of your type, and neither are you.
