I'm also unsure as to what you mean by "Toastmasters course!."
Overcoming shyness is rather difficult!. My son is somewhat shy now, but he was VERY shy as a child and youth!. He had to force himself to get up and talk in classes!. When he was really little he would not look at, much less say any thing to any of my friends or distant relatives!.
Even if it seems impossible, when someone says, "Hi!" to you, say hi back!. When YOU see someone you know or even barely know, try saying "hi" first!. Make eye contact and just say hi!. They are not going to punch you in the face!. They aren't going to think you're being weird!.
But they will think you are willing to speak to them and not say it's rudeness!.

Addendum: My son is now 26 and lectures to hundreds of chemistry students at a time!. He will be finishing up his PhD in analytical chemistry within the next couple of years!. He still thinks he's shy, but he's able to overcome it when necessary!. He's also a bass player in a rock band!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, i believe it would!.
I did toastmasters back when i was in primary school and it helped a lot!.
Im not shy, but there were loads of others who were in the group!.
I saw such a big transformation in those people in a couple of weeks!.
Toastmasters is designed to help you feel comfortable talking to people, in a group, and by yourself!.
They arent going to punish you or look down on you in any way because your shy, its their job to make you feel comfortable with them!.
I thoroughly enjoyed it when i did and i'd recommend it to anyone!.
I would go if i was you :) and i also applaud you for taking some steps forward to help with your shy-ness!
good luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
