I've always been shy physically. This in part tended to keep me from rushing into things, including relationships, headlong. Not rushing headlong, though I may have wanted to, but beginning to write stories about people, I drew near slowly; noting and guessing, apprehending, hoping, drawing my eventual conclusions out of my own heart, I did venture closer to where I wanted to go. Eudora Welty
About This Quote

Shyness is a condition that occurs when you are too shy to approach someone, talk to them, or talk with them. Shyness is the opposite of boldness. Shy people are afraid of being judged by others or even themselves. They often carry around the stereotype that they are not good enough to be in relationships with people, but they can go out with their friends without any problem.
