I don't think so because it makes you loose important opportunities in life. What do you think?

You cannot choose to be shy it is a persons inherent qualities. But all shy people are not losers, they have their field of excellance.

It's true, but I believe that one can change whatevev he/she doesn't like in their characteristics. It's just a matter of will

I tend to be shy at first around people I don't know, like strangers, but once I get to know them and feel comfortable with them, then I will lose my initial shyness. Being shy is sometimes an excuse for others to approach you and to do the 'work' of socializing, but others are put off if someone is shy. It depends on past experiences, you may have had a bad experience which has made you shy with people.

Yeah, you can act shy so that people around you would see you more mysterious, and sometimes that's a good thing :P

Well i think the ones which are shy have a good quality and i don't see them as people which are disadvantaged. I like shy people and i like to have a conversation with the. I don't have any problem with a shy person and i try to make it not to be so shy every time i speak to it. Good luck!

Yeah, some people are only shy when new people come into their lives. As soon as they know each other, shyness between them would be forgotten

There's something that triggers that kind of reaction, and I don't know what.. The only thing I know is that when it happens, most people won't recognise you :))

I am shy, and I hate it. I wish I wasn't shy, then I wouldn't miss out on things, and I would get what I want out of life.

You know, if you really want to achieve something, you can easily overcome your shyness. Don't ask yourself questions like "What will happen if...", just go for it, make your own future and present and do not rely on destiny

I am very shy in real life and I can say its not a great thing to have. But you learn to work around it the best you can to achieve your goals.

Some people call me shy but I call myself an observer. In a room full of people i watch and analyze things. If someone talks to me I will talk back to them but i mostly enjoy listening to other's conversations. I learn new things everyday by doing that. If i know you well enough then i am pretty outgoing it just depends on who i am with.

You are very right. That kind of shyness is very helpfull in life and makes you more mysterious. Make people want to talk to you and do not go to them yourself because mystery breeds interest ;)

You can overcome this by trying to meet new people and in time, as their number increases, you will get to feel very relaxed among them :)

It's not! You should overcome it in early stages of your life so you could handle any trials you might have.
