Shyness is the cau of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxi
ous and lf—conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himlf or herlf is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions。 In general, the way people think about themlves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives。
Shy people, having low lf—esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others。 They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing。” Shy people are very nsitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be plead by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true。” It is clear that while lf—awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building lf—confidence。 Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of lf-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.
Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourlves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential。 Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.
B、People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.
