Why are some people sometimes shy?

Question

Why are some people sometimes shy?

Answer 1

I wish someone could tell me that... then maybe I wouldn't be so shy.  Well, I shouldn't say that.  I do know why I'm shy.  I have social anxiety.  Although, I don't know what cuases that...

Either way, it really helps when shy people step out of their comfort zone and participate in social events.  If you're concerned about someone else in this case, talk to the shy person and gently force them (for lack of a better word) to step out of his comfort zone.

Answer 2

I am sorry, I am a bit confused with the question.  "Why are some people sometimes shy?"  Are you asking why some people are only shy sometimes? Or are your simply asking why some of us are shy?  Sorry, don't mean to over think it, just want to be able to provide you with an accurate response, because it is a great question, especially for people who are shy and want desperately to change that!  If you think it would help and are willing to clarify, I am more than happy to answer.  I just don't want to mislead you because I didn't understand what you were asking, sorry!

Answer 3

Younger people might tend to be "self-conscious" - that is, they're so conscious of their secret failings and sexual thoughts that they are falling all over themselves trying not to get noticed too much.

What these kids don't know yet is that everybody has all sort of failings and odd sexual thoughts.  But a "self-conscious" person imagines they're alone in this and that other people will find them out.

Answer 4

They are mentally self-centered. Egoistic. Self righteous just like I was. That is because there were two of me. One who judges and one who is judged. Then someone told me. "Are you better than the one whom you judge? Don't not judge yourself. Be honest to yourself. Be truthful to yourself. Then you will become one.  Don't judge yourself. Just be yourself. " When I learned that, I became one so that I don't view myself any more. That was my birth day. True me wanted to come out and finally it did. Expressing true self without being  self-observing. Confidence without arrogance. It makes me happier to express myself as I feel without any judgment.

What I wanted say was that some people judge you no matter what. You should not be the first one to judge yourself. When you stop the constant observation of yourself and judgement on yourself, shyness goes away.

Answer 5

they may be reflecting on their own extroverted and seemingly unwelcomed actions from the day,

or you could just be really cute.

Answer 6

I'm really shy, around people i don't know, but once i get to know someone i become very talkative and i am able to be "me." I think the people that are shy, may be afraid of other people's opinions and what they think of them. Let me tell you, i really wish i was able to be a little more talkative around other people! I think once shy people, are able to become more comfortable around people they do not know, they will adjust and become more talkative.
