Answer 1

Go on shore leave with some sailors while at sea. You will soon no longer be cautious

Answer 2

Well you certainly have everything planned out dont you :)

I would say if your plan is to join the Navy first that's probably a good call.  That will get you out there experiencing new things and new people but you wont be alone (and you wont have a choice once you join).  That should build up some of your confidence and get you exposed to different places and people.  If you are shy, you cant just flip a switch and become outgoing.  It takes time and a willingness to put yourself out there, even if you are scared, and just do it...a little at a time.

Like I said, I like your plan of joining the Navy.  You will be forced to make new friends and go new places.  This in turn can build your confidence and help you put yourself out there and make you more outgoing.  To me, being outgoing is all about confidence.  I was shy as a teenager and now, in my 30s, I am absolutely not shy anymore.  I forced myself to do things to overcome my fears, little by little until they went away.  If I was guy, I probably would have joined the army because I too wanted to travel etc and loved adventure... I think that is a great start!

Good luck to you!
