It wouldn't. It would probably keep them just as shy, or make them even more shy. Talking to someone online is a lot easier then going up to someone in person and talking to someone.

It will not help. To conquer shyness you need to throw yourself into actually interacting with people. Join the military, that will definitely help!

HA ! who told you that ?

I wonder how on earth it could happen. No way.

You are more likely to find people with common interests and may strike up a rapport with at least some of them. Personally, I am a gamer. Most of the people I interact with are fellow gamers, both online and IRL. With the exception of a couple of ABers, my online friends are all gamers; people with whom I share a common interest. And since there is a common ground, my shyness is less relevant because I feel like I am amongst my own people. Regardless of your interest, there are likely at leact a few million others on FB that are at least enough like you that you will feel less shy around them. I may be too timid to walk up to a stranger and strike up a conversation, but if I get chatting with four people about the best way to tackle level 17, I feel far less self-concious and thus less shy. Contrary to someone else's suggestion, the military doesn't help. The only people I dealt with and liked in the Navy were mostly also gamers and the rest were fellow Engineers.
