Shyness is a feeling that influences a person to feel and behave around others.Shyness can mean feeling uncomfortable,nervous or unconfident.When people feel shy,they might be unwilling to say or do something because they're not sure of themselves and they're not ready to be noticed.
Shyness is partly a result of a person's genes(基因).About 20% of people are naturally shy because of their genes.The examples that other people set can also play a role in whether a person learns to be shy or not.If the parents of a shy child are too careful or protect him or her too much,it can teach the child to back away from where he or she feels uncomfortable.
