New Years Resolution

You know at new years you make a resolution. well, mine was to work on myself confidence. I know it's really lame but it's true. i workin on it. i think that i'm way way too shy and i'm always worried what people think of me ,and i don't want to anymore. well, when i'm around my friends i throw all caution to the wind i don't care what people think of me, and have fun but when i'm by myself i'm a whole different person. i'm shy and self consious. i go to the same school as my friends but i live far away from them so i can't always hang out with them. does anyone know anything that would help me??
