I don't like talking to crowds either. So I don't, lol. I have an "Open House" at my house and invite everyone I know (that I trust to have in my home). I make a ton of candles and get everything ready. Then set up in my dining room/living room. People are invited to come and go, shop and visit as they please during a 3 hour specified time. Sometimes people will bring a friend. No spiel, no games. Very casual. It's nice to see people and visit, and they come to buy. Any leftover candles I keep as "stock." People then know what I have and can buy more at a later time. It's a lot of work, but actually fun! Set a date for an open house and it will motivate you knowing people will be coming over.
