I wouldn't say it ends totally in any situation, but I seem to be least shy at parties and social gatherings only when there's some interactive physical activity going on, such as volleyball, basketball, freeze tag, and such.. Even board games are good in a group. Then everyone's busy playing. No one gets left out. You can suck at conversation and STILL have fun. It's a good chance for everyone to feel more intellectually equal.. And best of all, no one has to stand around and force small talk, or worse.. discuss what we all do. Yeah I agree that having an activity to focus on helps ease anxiety. In those 'awkward silences', you can just discuss what's going on in the game.
