Shy oftenly gets mixed up with being introverted, but they two different things. Being shy is more like social anxiety or the fear of social interactions. Some people that are shy usually are seen as weird because everyone is expected to be an extrovert.

What people donât know is that shy people have a lot of personality but just take a while getting comfortable around new people.
