Why is it..?
Answer:
I think some of it is due to insecurity. What will people think? My step-daughter was painfully shy, but as we spent more time being silly, playing games, singing at the top of our lungs (even though we really can't sing) and generally doing things openly and with a good attitude, she gained more confidence. She wasn't so afraid of being made fun of or being questioned. She even became a cheerleader and is now a teacher. I'm so proud of that little shy girl who is now an outgoing woman!
Because, they're shy about overcoming their shyness.
Because they have made up their minds to be that way, and they never let anybody know of their shyness.
Shyness is partially a trait that comes to us from birth, and, contrary to popular belief, most people are actually shy to some extent! Sometimes shy people find it easier if they make friends with someone who is outgoing; then they get introduced to all of their friends and are automatically included in a 'group' and slowly learn how to be a tiny bit less shy with other people. It's never something you really "outgrow", but as you get older you do learn to chanel it in ways that are more effective. If you're not lucky enough to have outgoing friends, maybe you can start with making friends online, or writing journal entries on Facebook or MySpace or Xanga, where some other people that you know hang around, too. That can start conversations, both online and in person, with people that you don't know that well. There's lots of tiny little steps one can take to overcome shyness... you've just got to find which one is right for you.
