I know exactly how you feel.. You should definately go.. When you meet your friends, friends.. try to act like they are. If they are being nice, talkative and playful just copy them and be like them. Try to jump into conversations.. and your confidence will build up to the point where your confident enough to be yourself around them.
much love xoxo

 You can Google the word Shyness and you will find many sites that give you tips about shyness and the cure.
Getting to know more people is interesting. We can find out about their culture and their way of life. We get to know more friends and friends are great.
When someone smiles at you , smile back.They are not going to eat you and do not be scared.Take a baby step at a time.You are just too self conscious about yourself. There is nothing wrong with you.
