Thanks for the suggestions. I'm seriously considering joining a toastmaster's club, I'm just worried that having to prepare speeches every week would be a ton of work that I don't have much time for. But if that's what it takes to get me over this I'll do it.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Thanks, I'll look into all of that. At this point I think I can do it myself because I'm pretty self-disciplined and once I set my mind to something I follow through. However if for some reason books aren't enough I will of course consider going to some sort of therapy group. Thanks again!

Thanks, I've actually read that one about a year ago and it's on my bookshelf. I think it was pretty good, but I felt it was a little outdated and the suggestions were all things I already knew.

Haha, thanks. I know, I probably wouldn't have this problem if I drank socially, but I really cannot stand the taste of alcohol. I used to drink here and there years ago, but the only drinks I liked were usually labelled "girls' drinks" and I was constantly made fun of. That probably didn't help my shyness either. But I appreciate your suggestion.

That's a great tip, thanks! I will try it out.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
