Im shy and need help

Im 17 and shy, i don't like talking out load infront of people however i will if i have to, but i then go red faced (runs in the family but its worse for me and others grew out of it) and that makes me even more shy especially when people mention it, i took a course in college to try and help but it didnt work. I dont really like talking to girls because i go red faced and never had a girlfriend because of this. I sometimes get abit tearful at night because my shyness is stopping me from doing things i would like to do.
Even my dad said i need to talk more or people won't like me.

Any suggestions to help me overcome?

Thanks for listening

    Wow I thought you were a girl until you mentioned that you want a girlfriend. Seriously my advice is toughen up and stop acting like a girl because you really sound like one.

    Blushing is actually a really emotional issue with some people. I know it sounds an odd thing to consult a doctor about but I know someone who did and hypnotherapy was recommended. It worked for her. The only downside is that the hypnotherapy seems to wear off after a bit and she has to have a top-up once in a while.

    That is pretty rough! You have some kind of deep-rooted issue. I would suggest trying an antidepressant (because it helps you not over-analyze things) or see a psychologist. It sounds like you may have too much fear, which can cripple someone. Why not just say whatever comes to mind for a week and see how it goes?
