The way I see it, what you'd probably be best off with is a product with the right self-effects for you. One that trains you out of your shy/introverted personality. To start out with that is. Once you've gone through that phase, you can focus more on products that get stronger responses from others. It's a learning curve.
Which product specifically fits that, I don't know. I can only give my experience with three products and the effects they have on me. It may be that those effects are different for you.
I have experience with:
Bad Wolf. This one makes me very focused, confident. I feel stable and assertive. For self-effects, this one may be good for you. But... it's a heavy product. It gets intense responses and you will have to be able to handle that. It can even cause negative responses in people that you need to handle. It would not be a good choice for you to start out with I think.
Overdose. Makes me feel dominant. Strong also. And it's very easy to communicate clearly on it. Articulation becomes easier as well as sorting and expressing your thoughts. It doesn't have the potential negative effects that Bad Wolf has. I think it would be a good choice for you to try.
Voodoo. Very different from the ones above. The self-effects for me is simply a sense of feeling good, which makes everything easier. And people react well to it. Friendly. Definitely some attraction. But at a nice, easy-going level. It makes interactions more enjoyable and fluid for the both of you. I think that this one would also be a good option.
Looking at it now, I think Voodoo would be the best to start out with (of those three). I think it eases you into a more social area without it being too intense. Once you've used that one for long enough that you feel you've gotten everything out of it, moving on to another product could be useful if you want more or different effects. Or you stick with Voodoo if it gets you what you want.
There are many more products and I wish I had experience with them all. But maybe the above is helpful nevertheless.
You can always ask the customer services of the various companies. I've only bought from LAL so far and they are great. Lots of expertise and I'm sure they can recommend a good product for your situation.
One I'm personally curious about is Hypnotica. I haven't used it, but if I read the description, it does sound like something that might be helpful for you.
Good luck and if you want to, keep us updated! I would love to know what you chose and how it affects you.
And remember to enjoy this all. Having fun with it makes it all so much easier.
EDIT: Once you've chosen a product, really take the time to get to know it. For someone who is shy, I think it's best to start out with a very low dose and gradually increase it. Don't be discouraged if there are no results, it might just be that you've started out with too low a dose. Or the results are there but you haven't noticed them yet. Sometimes it takes time to become aware of them, both for self-effects as well as the effects on others.
Also, especially with the heavier products, it is not uncommon to feel anxiety and/or nausea at first. Over time that will go away as you get used to the product.
