shyness 

Fear is an emotion which is mostly triggered by the release of hormones or neurotransmitters like adrenaline and noradrenaline.

The reason fear exists is mainly evolutionary for self-preservation. Feeling scared in dangerous situations keeps you alive.

Social anxiety is a commonly occuring phenomenon in our postmodern society. The pathological shyness discourages many people from showing their whole potential in front of other people in school, at work or in general social situations.

It does not provide you any help to survive and it most likely prevents you from being happy.

If you know people who might be affected by Social Society Disorder, please do not mistake their introversion for arrogance and try to comprehend their behaviour. Do not stop inviting them to social situations and give them time to warm up.

You: Can I bring Chris along to the BBQ?
Your friend: Why? He never says a word- are you sure he even enjoys hanging out with us?
You: He certainly does. Chris is simply shy and needs some time to warm up to people.
Your friend: Shyness, huh? Oh, and I thought he disliked us. Well then, bring beer as well.

But instead of spending time with her, encouraging her to sign up for some clubs, or setting up playdates, her parents took her to the doctor, where she was diagnosed with numerous mental disorders, and given pills to cure them.

Refers to da off-da-scale-satisfying practice of deeply-but-softly clasping an initially-bashful fellow human in yer arms and just motionlessly holding him close and mutually engaging in long slow breathing until he eventually stops trembling and relaxes against you, whereupon you both rack back to arm's length and smile happily/dreamily at each other.

Employing da shyness-soothing snuggle is a great way for grandparents or aunts/uncles to gain da confidence of uncertain little ones; just remember dat every person has different ideas, preferences, and comfort-levels regarding physical closeness, personal boundaries, etc.

Sometimes this is relieved by everyone in the immediate vicinity turning their backs to the person on the "throne", running water, or making other distracting noises.
