Is shyness good or bad?

Question

socially..

Answer 1

It depends on the severity of the shyness. A little shyness can be charming. However, if the person is so shy that it prevents them from socializing well, then it's a bad thing.

Answer 2

socially it horrible I'm shy and i don't have that many Friends, people thing I'm a major snob because I'm so quite. life sucks so much I'm lonely. I'm life fregen gorgeous, never had a boyfriend or even talked to one never the less.

Answer 3

it has its ups and downs

Answer 4

I'm a shy person, so I'd say it has pros and cons.

I am usually very aware of other peoples feeling, and reading between the lines, since I do more listening than talking. I also don't have a problem with saying things I regret later, or blurting out whatever is on my mind and hurting people.

However, I also find it hard to speak up for myself in some situations, making friends is hard if they don't approach me for a conversation, and I'm usually exhausted after a day that I spend in a group of people.

I've learned to deal with my shyness, and I don't think that it really causes me too much grief, although it can be annoying at times. :)

Answer 5

It has its pros & cons. But overall, it can affect you in a lot of bad ways, like for example you find yourself missing out on a lot of things you wish you could do, but are just too insecure to go for it. I'm sure being sociable would be your best way to get through life.

Answer 6

its good and bad...good that your shy, that means you are self aware, and notice everything around you..but still you rather look than get involved, because your too shy..

its bad too...I was the more shy than anyone I knew..always sat at the back of the room, didn't want any attention on me, I was afraid they would pick on me or something..

I feel school kids make you shy..because you have seen them pick on people in most ugliest way...and by seeing that all during your school experience you are waiting for it to be your turn...

but shyness can be control...but only with age..I thought I would never become the kind of person, to speak out loud, but now I do...

all you shy people, hang in there, start practice by looking people in the eye when you talk...that is a start of getting over this crazy stuff.
