What can I do?

Oh man, I was like this... Whoa, I completely changed. One of my biggest fears in the world was breath problem. God, was I afraid of that. Not anymore, soon realized my breath doesn't smell. And that, when I was a lil kid I was made fun of it, and I was traumatized, for life. Till I reached 16. I Got over it, and started to talk. Right now, I find out, I crack people up, and people LOVE to be with me. Though, sometimes I'm in a class were I don't know anyone. But most of the time we're just working. But, besides the fact. My problem was always the breath. Man, I was dumb, hiding myself from the world. Haha, well anyway dude. All you need to do is. Make one friend. Meet the friend's, friend, then meet their friend's friend. And then so on, and so on. Once you make a couple of friends, and decide you feel comfortable with your own personality, going up to new people wont be such a drag. This is what I do. Say I learn this girls name, and I see her, and she doesn't know me I go. "HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO <enter name>!!!!" And she goes, "hi...who are you?" and I go, "I'm Chris." And she goes, "Hello Chris." Simple as that. Then keep working at it, and become friends with her, then meet her friends, etc etc. Its very easy.... Hope this helps!

Did you try gum? I don't know, I heard that helps.
