I read an article recently - and of course I can't now remember where - about how what our society describes as shyness is actually a good and necessary part of any civilization. Because those who stop and think before acting, who observe more than acting, can save a species from destruction when everyone else just jumps right into action and get themselves killed because they don't think first.
So don't look at your shyness as a bad thing - YOU are helping to save humanity!
