Shyness is generally associated with being an introvert; but that's not always the case. Shyness is basically, the inability to open up, mingle with and hold a fruitful conversation with someone who we may not know. There are some of us, who can easily strike up a conversation with anyone at any time and place, be it while traveling on a bus or plane, in a social gathering, or in school, college and at work. Being friendly and outgoing comes naturally to them. On the contrary, there are some others, who feel awkward around people they don't know. They are unable to determine how to start the conversation and what they should talk about. They prefer to warm up slowly with new people and new situations and are sometimes mistaken to be unfriendly or reserved. But that's what their behavior or nature is and unconsciously, this is what they're comfortable with. Shyness is an emotion that reflects how a person behaves and feels in a situation and around others. It can mean feeling nervous, self-conscious, insecure, anxious, timid and even suspicious at times. People who feel shy sometimes exhibit behaviors such as blushing, trembling, shakiness, short of breath, speechless and often don't even want to face the person or situation. Why are some people shy and not others? Shyness is mostly a genetic inherited behavior, but also largely results from some negative past experiences, their social surroundings or the way others have reacted to their behavior in the past.
