Answer 4

People who are categorized as Shy, usually are just very calculated in how they think.  They're careful on how they respond to people in fear of saying something stupid / wrong.  So they avoid social interaction with people they don't know well.  They ususally become people watchers...

They don't want to embarrass themselves.  But think about this... embarrassment is a useless emotion; you DON'T learn from it or escape harm by using it... it just holds you back from trying new things and making decisions for YOURSELF....

I use to be pretty shy.... then one day I was like "s***w it!  I'm pretty d**n cool!"
