Rather say they all are equally good.

If you are asked to judge him/her, just say, "Well, I don't like his/her behaviour." Remember that if you say this, you are judging the behaviour and not the person.

Avoid telling personal issues, if you don't want to look insecure.
There may be a few episodes in the past when you trusted someone completely, and later on, everyone and even the person you had trusted made fun of you.
This may be a reason why you're shy.
Think about it.
Also, when someone trusts you, keep them secure and do not make fun of them, ever.
Encourage them to be social slowly but steadily, if they are shy just like you were., Speak least to strangers/bullies.
Speak a little more to people that belong to your class.
Speak more to people who are in your class, whom you know well.
Speak the most with your best friend. , A good friend probably won't ask the reason why you became social, but, if he/she does, just say, "I was just bored." or "How about having some friends?" or "So you think I'll remain the same forever, huh?" But, if a bully asks you the same question then say firmly, "Mind your own business!"
It will take time and patience.
Don't force yourself into social situations.
Increase the level of socialising with increasing confidence.
Till then, short talks would be a good start.
All the best! -
