Volunteering/Self-improvement?

So, if you are a few of those people who stick around reading my blog, thanks.
Actually I was going to say 'Then you must know what I have been struggling with'
Don't know? Don't remember?
Confidence, I know I haven't been blogging as much as I used to, but honestly I really don't have anything (interesting) to say!
I am not going to bore you by saying 'oh I suck' blah blah blah.
Actually I wanted to say that I am overcoming this shy-ness.
If any of you have the same problem as me, not being able to speak up in public or being to shy to speak to complete strangers than I give you word of advice.
Volunteering.
No kidding, don't start a job first, volunteer first, this gives you the most confidence that you can apply into later in a job. Especially if you are at a young age, it is the best thing that you could do.
For me going into a job first (I mentioned this like.. a year ago? Remember, NEXT?) I found to be really hard, I didn't have than self-confidence to make new friends properly or help people as much as I wanted. 
So what if you don't get paid to do it? It is your starting point. Take it. Apply!!
I volunteer as a receptionist, its very busy at the right time and you interact with people all the time, I love it as, I myself can see a big improvement in myself, so this is my word of advice. Good luck. (:
It shouldn't be the only reason to do it, I mean its great that I gain experiences and it's fun!
