People that are shy are uncomfortable around groups of people they are unfamiliar with and may come off as "too good" or "stuck up". It can make you feel uncomfortable around strangers, self-conscious most of the time, nervous when speaking in front of other people, timid to join group activities, and most of all insecure about yourself. Shyness is an emotion that makes you feel unsure of yourself and shun any form of attention.

People that are shy are uncomfortable around groups of people they are unfamiliar with and may come off as "too good" or "stuck up". It can make you feel uncomfortable around strangers, self-conscious most of the time, nervous when speaking in front of other people, timid to join group activities, and most of all insecure about yourself. Shyness is an emotion that makes you feel unsure of yourself and shun any form of attention.

All people at one time or another experience some level of shy feelings. But there are those people who have let shyness run their lives. There are those who have let it hold them back from taking chances, meeting new people, experiencing new things and living life to the fullest.

High achievers in life tend to be more outgoing and personable as opposed to being shy. No matter how much he wants a something, his uncertainty about himself holds him back from at least trying to get it. And not gaining anything in life will make a shy person end up with even less self confidence and worst, unhappy.

Shy people are always afraid to step out of their comfort zone because they are not sure of what to expect and they fear the unfamiliar. They tend to disregard their own strength that could have made them excel in some part of their lives.

Shyness can be a result of genetics or life experience. Ones genes make up his physical traits and personality. A persons shyness may be due to lack of confidence on his physical attributes or simply because it was a personal trait passed on to him.

However, life experience is the biggest factor that could lead to shyness. A person may have been forced to face a monumental situation that he was not prepared for. And his failure to deal with this situation was what led him to feel shy.

Fortunately, shyness is an emotion that any person can overcome with slow but steady little steps. Building self confidence by socializing more can eventually lead to taking bolder steps in life. Support from friends and family can also greatly help in overcoming shyness.

Too often talented people are held back by there own struggles with shyness. But it is never a hopeless case. The decision to overcome it is the first step in living a full and happy life.
