aaron84z: Everyone will somehow go thru this phase of urs somewhere in the process of growing up. Well... it's part n parcel of growing. I hv gone thru it n hv overcome the prob more or less...
Well... when u wish 2 tok 2 anyone, juz take in a deep breathe n relax. Dun need 2 go 2 library n borrow any self-help books like wat coltpython said, but if u feel it's gd 2 read up, read up on something tat interests u.
As u mature, your thinking will change. U will outgrow urself, n gain more confidence. The best period is actually when u r in NS. It actually prepares u 2 face the challenges in the near future. My advise for u is 2 open up more. U r the confident type but the little u inside ur mind keeps telling u tat u r not...
U hv my support, little bro!

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly
