If you are up for it, Improv Theater lessons are great for this. I'm still
amazed that they can teach people to react quickly and be spontaneous. I
figured either you had it or you didn't, but that's not the case.

Their training and exercises are perfectly designed for the shy person,
although of course many shy people would consider it too big of a step. I know
I did for many years. But when you are ready, check it out.
