You know, I actually don't believe you can. Not like "people are a fixed way", more like "trying to change never works".

But you CAN take all that self-consciousness out of the way if you stop worrying so much about having people like you. Do that, and you might find--purely as a side-effect--that your personality alters, or a confident, fun side emerges. But "trying to act" confident and fun is NOT the same as actually being confident and fun.
