Shyness

Shyness An asset or a curse? I wear it on my cheeks in the form of pink blotches Shyness Something to revere or overcome? I keep my voice silent, while loud angry ones speak Shyness Does it have to do with personality or self-worth? I ask myself this question internally, keeping quiet.

I think it's a bit of both, personality and self-worth. Little girls were meant to be seen and not heard was a common remark that was made years ago. I used to blush at the drop of a hat if I was noticed in any way. I feel much the same today although i don't blush so much.

I believe we were raised the same way

Hmmm...no input. I've never been shy, apparently. I'm a bit introverted, but I can handle the crowd if I have to.

I have been shy at times. Twice.
