Are there drugs that help with shyness and make you more social?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of: There are drugs that decrease anxiety, which would allow you to feel freer to interact in social situations. HOWEVER, you may not be socially anxious, but just introverted. Extraversion/introversion is thought to be "normally distributed," which means literally half the population is introverted. If so for you, it's not something to treat with medication, but rather to embrace and work with.
