Pills, NO/Skills, YE: Shyness is not same as social anxiety. But these self-help tools (incl. A video) for managing & even overcoming social anxiety may help: http://www.Anxietybc.Com/resources/social.Php effective treatment for social anxiety will involve putting yourself in feared social situations, going from ones you fear on.

Cure?: I agree with Dr. Adelstein. Shyness and social anxiety disorders are not the same thing. You could be evaluated to determine if you have a social anxiety disorder. Regardless of whether medications were appropriate , I would recommend cognitive behavioral therapy. Drugs would not CURE shyness.
