Actually going through rush would be excellent "exposure therapy" to help learn how to work with your shyness (I'm not sure a shy person every "gets over" being shy, but you can learn tricks and ideas for working around it).

You're so often in a "rush" situation in the real world. Either as a "PNM" in a job interview or joining an organization, or, more frequently, as a "rusher" - interviewing potential new hires at your job (employees outside HR are often asked to speak to job seekers), recruiting people for community groups, making newcomers comfortable at your church/synagogue/Meeting, - so many things during daily life.

I interview people/focus groups for a living, and quickly finding something in common with those being interviewed -- a skill I learned in rush -- REALLY makes things more comfortable for everyone.
