Most people consider me shy. I’m certainly quiet. Of course, I seem normal to me. Despite this “disorder,” over the years I have run for school committee in hostile, moonbat territory, started my own 501 c(3), and served on the board of a crisis pregnancy center, in addition to working a full-time job and opening my own rapidly-growing business.

Different degrees of shyness. I knew a girl in college with a bad case of shyness that really hampered her. If a Prof called on her she would get red faced and her answer came out in a stutter. I lived in a coed dorm and she never spoke and if someone said something to her it one a one word answer.

-—Different degrees of shyness.——

That’s a fair point. I’ve never encountered anyone that shy, so that’s very unusual.

More importantly, this behavior could simply be the transient or permanent result of abuse, in which case the behavior is a symptom, but not a cause.
