Shyness often indicates a lack of self-confidence. The reasons for shyness can be diverse. Someone might have lacked parental love in childhood, some might lack experience in friendly acceptance and recognition, others might have been bullied in school... Sometimes people are dissatisfied with their appearance or speech characteristics, without realizing that these perceived flaws can be imagined, invented, and that people value inner qualities more. A confident individual presents themselves in a way that external features do not hinder them from being perceived as likable and attractive.
Shyness is partly linked to a person's biological innate traits, which easily trigger a cascade of shyness responses in reaction to signals from the external environment. However, the most important factor is your life experience and your personality. Those who believe in themselves rarely become shy.
Shyness can obstruct self-realization, the expression of abilities, and the establishment of social contacts, thus narrowing a person's circle of life. Regardless of the causes, shyness can be adjusted and overcome as an obstacle in life. First, it's important to better understand how shy you are.
