What Is Shyness?

Shyness is a behavioral style reflecting awkwardness or apprehension that some people consistently feel when approaching or being approached by others. Shyness is a response to fear, and research suggests that although there is a neurobiology of shyness—the behavioral repertoire is orchestrated by a specific circuit of neurons in the brain—it is also strongly influenced by parenting practices and life experiences.
Shyness is distinct from introversion. Introverts feel energized by time alone; shy people often desperately want to connect with others, but don't know how or can not tolerate the anxiety that comes with human iinteration. Their inclination to turn inward to monitor their own behavior and perceived shortcomings can prevent them from developing new relationships .
The incidence of shyness varies greatly around the globe. The cultural values that children absorb from their parents and the larger society influence their social tendencies. Approximately 40 to 50 percent of American adults consider themselves shy. Studies show that 31 percent of Israelis are shy, compared with 57 percent of the Japanese. Cultural styles of assigning blame and praise are believed important factors.
 It means that shy people are afected in meny ways to the enviroment,more than neurobiologycal situations.
