Answer 2

I was shy when younger because I had NO self-confidence.I am still shy around a couple of ppl but can get up in front of a crowd and be a speaker/hostess! I do not like to argue and will shut down. I would rather put my thoughts on paper and give it to the person rather than try to discuss something important in a group where there are no rules, just conversation,and ppl get a little hot!. Yes, it can help by making the person listen more.People are shy because of lack of self-esteem, lack of experince around ppl or a certain arena,not knowledgeable in a certain area,listening to learn before speaking, or not talking to person until you are aware of their standing in the group and their opinion on certain issues. If you want to get over being shy practice at the grocery store or at clothing stores, etc. Talk to the strangers and ask them their opinion on the veggies or on a shirt. You don't have to make a decision based on their response. It is just making yourself talk to someone for practice. Then try speaking in a group of friends and then in front of a class or other group. Never go forward to the next challenge until you are comfortable with the 1st step.Shyness can be a flaw if you don't speak your opinion and a vote goes the opposite way of what you believe and you are stuck with bad consequences!Shyness can be an asset when you are learning from others by listening and thinking over their opinions and reactions to given situations. You are aable to make a better choice because you have all of the facts instead of trying to interject your 2 cents and missing something important! hope this helps you!

shyness is when you have a fear of being bold and outspoken... yes i am a shy person... unfortunately is more of a flaw than a quality, but it does have some advantages, it makes it so that i look before i leap into a friendship or relationship, which in some ways has saved my tail from trouble. i am more shy in a group than individually one on one... as far as overcoming it, i have yet to figgure out how. some people are shy because of being put down so much as a kid, and are afraid of rejection. much of my childhood i was teased and put down... and i believe this is why i am shy.
