Shyness is nice, and...

Shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to, says the old man.

More shyness trivia:

- Shy children tend to have narrower faces than their peers

- Shy people are more likely to suffer from allergies and hay fever than non-shy people. They also have a more attuned sense of smell

- Shy people are more likely to be conceived during the months of August and September, when the days are shorter and the nights longer

- Humans aren't the only species that experiences shyness. Scientists have been studying shy cattle, shy fish, shy cats, and shy dogs.

 

From Shyness: A BOLD New Approach (har har...geddit?). The book discusses shyness, its causes, and ends with a treaty on how to achieve 'successful shyness.' 

Nice, but quite honestly,  if there's something you'd like to try, ask and I won't say no. How could I?*
