Being Shy


Being shy is not a phobia or neurosis of any kind.  Being shy simply means being careful, and using caution these days is but the gist iswise.  Many people see shyness as a charming trait.  If you are concerned about yourself or a loved one being shy, you probably are worrying in vane.  In other words, overcoming shyness in itself, need not be a priority unless there is a deep seated underlying cause.

If however, a person refuses to make contact with anybody because he or she either feels unworthy of being accepted, or he or she feels hatred for everybody, there is a problem.  Both of these conditions are social anxieties that need to be dealt with.

The first condition is an inferiority complex, the latter is hatred which, in itself can be either a neurosis or even a psychosis.

Ordinary shyness is not, in itself a problem.
