I’ve recently become very self-conscious about my spoken English, mainly as a result of an anti-social life as well as other minor facts that played a role.
I was born in the United States, and English, alongside Greek, was my first language. In middle and high school I eventually decided to intimidate various accents for the sake of fun, and a lot of this seemed to have resulted in a somewhat broken English (?). Apart from this, my lack of socializing has also aided in severing my English.
Now my “accent” - if you want to call it that - is not really a mis-use of words or anything like that, it is a very slight sense of inadequacy in terms of vocalizing the “vibrations” inherent in the Native English speaker. I’m not sure how this “accent” came about, but I’m looking for a way (perhaps an online class) to perfect my English.
I’m afraid I don’t understand exactly what sort of problem you’re talking about.
If you could upload a sample of your “typical speech” to the Internet and post the link here, perhaps people will be able to better understand what sort of help you need.

Shyness won’t help you to solve your problem, and in fact, trying to overcome some of your shyness may well be the most important step in the solution.
You’ve taken a step here. Don’t stop now. You’re on a roll!
