for those timid out there, don't be offended............?

Question

is shyness a sin?

Answer 1

shyness is not a sin ,,,shyness is formed from life experiences
where the person or persons have been placed in a position of
always being told to be quiet as young children ,,,people who have
been abused who have lost their own self esteem or are taught to
believe they have nothing to offer in intelligent a conversation or have been subtly made to feel that they are not as good as
everyone else ,,,or mocked or laughed at by t heir peers ,,,this
presents a habitul sense of closing in on themselves and trying
to make themselves as less noticeable as possible because
they feel they will be put down ,,,,self esteem plays a serious
part in the development of any human being ,,,,shy or timid
people are introverted but once you get through to them they
are most likely to surprise you with their knowledge because timid people become observers and by observing they can know
a lot about others ,,,,timid people are sometimes just humble
people who do not praise themselves or even if they are heroes
they will not say what they did,,,usually people find out about
their heroism or whatever noble thing they have done ,,do not ever think a timid person is not strong ,,,or that being kind is
weak ,,,they usually are extremely disciplined people who somtimes are very courageous ,,,,shyness is not a sin ,,,,,that
is absolutely an outrageous statement ,,,some timid people
are that way genetically ,,,,what logic would ever cast a person
to believe that shyness is a sin ,,,,,not everyone is an extrovert
or a bragger or wanting to have center stage ,,,and in my experience ,,I have found the shyness in others refreshing ,,,
sometimes boldness can be offensive ,,,but how could being
timid be offensive ,,,timid people do not assume about others
lives ,,,,how could being shy be offensive to God ,,,,,,shyness is difficult for
the person who is shy ,,,Einstsein was very shy ,,,what made you ask this question ,,,what led to your question ,,my son is
a very shy person ,,,he never offends or asks questions of
people ,,,his father and uncles are shy as well ,,,his father is
a noted artist ,,a humanist artist .,,,he paints people mostly ,,,
he paints the lonely ,,the forgotten ,,the homeless and less
fortunate in this world ,,,why ? because he is an observer of
everything around him and he wants to make a place for those who are thought to be nothing ,,,my son though shy ,,is a black belt,
and has done well in university ,,graduating with honors ,,,,this is genetic shyness
so ,,,take from this whatever you can ,,,hopefully , I have
changed your mind ,,,,,about shyness being a sin ,,,,,,,,,,,
