I would be very interested in getting involved in my local music scene. But I can't seem to get past this numbing shyness to do so. It seems such an ordeal to go out and meet new people, much less find the ones that are interested in making the kind of music I am.

Any ideas on overcoming shyness? It seems ludicrous, I know. It's extremely embarrassing for me to admit which is why I'm hiding cookieless in the corner.

I've spent my time getting my music fix on the 'net. It's getting old.
