I'm a senior in high school, I graduate in a month (June 8). I am horribly insecure around people and have trouble talking to them, women in particular. What should I do over this summer to become a more confident person? I'm game for anything, mould me.

I'm 18, have a car, and will be entering college in the fall (night classes) while working full time (9-5 and 10-3 on Sat). I've always managed to fit the "nerd" stereotype: I love Math and Computers (my job is as programmer). I've had horrible success with women.

My goal this summer is to change that outward projection. Go cold turkey. Where should I start?

Thanks, guys.
