I always imagine myself giving people high-five's, making people feel good about themselves and being really upbeat and positive. Not worried about how others perceive me and just having fun wherever I go. I have this strong desire to be that guy, but whenever I think about even attempting to let go and be that guy I get a paralyzing feeling over my whole body and I can't even speak. I've been shy my whole life and I've prayed hard about changing this, it might sound dumb but I want to let go and be this guy more than any want I would ever have. I've been consistently trying to get out of my comfort zone and praying about it and I don't know what else to do. Has anyone else been through anything like this? How do you get over being shy?

Greetings in the Lord Jesus;
Maybe start praying, God purge me of myself, and get ready to start looking at self. It will not be pretty, but it will be truth.
If one can receive the truth with gladness in their heart; God begins the transformation process IN you.
In order for Him to increase; I must decrease. Amen
We look through a glass darkly and then face to face. Amen.
Self can not transform self, God does this. Self can not teach self to love as God Loves. God does this too.
The potter still has control over the clay. Amen.
All praise, honor, and glory be to God. Amen.

I could say do this or do that, eg pray more, or read the bible more, etc, but ultimately it won't work because Jesus is not interested in making us a this or that person, and our own self-help activities may seem to work for a time but is only temporarily lasting. Jesus only wants to live inside of us and rule our life from within. Jesus wants to control your thoughts, emotions, will, your heart from His Spirit in your spirit. And if you have accepted Christ as your savior then Jesus is already inside of you and you only need to forget about yourself and let Him out. The only one thing you have to do is seek first His Kingdom and righteousness and behold Christ (Matt 6:33, 2 Cor 3:18). You will be so focused on His kingdom and His person, that you won't even think about yourself. Then you will be transformed from within to be the kind of person who is not shy.
