Well I think the reason why people don't like being shy is that it doesn't give you a lot of options. It's essentially a fear-based response, and fear is one of my least favourite emotions. Obviously there can be positives to it (depending on one's point of view), but I see it as more of a drawback than an asset personally. Hence, I do my best to work past it.
