If you are a bit shy you need to get over that. Sometimes it helps to sort of play the part. How would a really strong confident person behave in this situation? And try to do that. That's not to say you should be fake, but sometimes you have to fake it get the wheels rolling. And your shyness could come off as disinterest, which is a bad thing.
Being in a colony could be just the ticket for you. Give it a shot, and as I've been saying a lot on GC lately, make sure you express interest!
