be more sincere

I’m a really, really shy person, and I try to be more outgoing with people, but because I’m shy, I think I come off as fake, and therefore untrustworthy. I think I’m scared of doing something that will make others think of me negatively. So the solution is to stop caring what people think of me. Urgh, but to me it seems like it has to be such a huge step. Go from where I am now, to, BAM!, not caring what they think. Easy as pie, right? ><, not easy!
