Product Description
What's wrong with being shy?Nothing. Millions of people use adjectives like shy, introverted, quiet, or introspective to describe themselves, and the world benefits from having people with these personality traits. In some cultures, these are considered to be among the most sought-after virtues.
But severe shyness can cause anxiety, and extreme anxiety can lead to a type of fear that is unnecessary. Whey shyness, anxiety, and fear are carried to their extremes, and when these extremes become nearly constant, they can have negative health consequences. They can even interfere with common aspects of everyday life. This type of anxiety is called social anxiety disorder, and it cuts across race and social class, placing constant restraints on the lives of those who experience it on a regular basis.
