07, 2006 Recognize and overcome shyness Unlike introverts, who prefer being by themselves, shy people long to be included but are too anxious to participate Shyness is acute discomfort in interpersonal situations that severely limits a person’s ability to relate to others.

For instance, a shy woman was too afraid to ask her boss for a raise, so she stayed in her low-paying job for 15 years before she finally quit.
