Shyness is where a person is anxious or inhibited in unfamiliar situation or when they are interacting with people they normally do not intereact with (Bell, M. Murphy, P. (2013)). Those with shyness are nervously contained (LaTrobe University. (1999)). Socially, most individuals perceive that only introverts experience shyness, but this is incorrect (Beidel, D. C., & Turner, S. M. (2007)). Shyness is feeling uncomfortable with a situation a person is faced with, this is most noticed with social gatherings (Su, T. (2013)).
There are three different types of shyness people can experience, they are: Excessive Self-Conciousness - being overly aware of ones self, especially in social interactions (Su, T. (2013)). Excessive Negative Self-Evaluation - when a person visualises themselves negatively (Su, T. (2013)). Excessive Negative Self-Preoccupation - When too much attention is being focused on all the things that are going wrong when socially interacting with others (Su, T. (2013)).
Shyness is more likely to be more severe when a person has a weak self image, pre-occupation with themselves (questioning everything they are doing and frequently thinking of what that person is doing wrong), and when they label themselves as a shy person (Luciano, K. (2014)).
