Although for most of my life I have considered shyness to be a handicap, at the same time, I have to admit that it does have a few benefits. I believe that those of us who call ourselves shy are probably the very best observers of human behavior. Standing on the sidelines can sometimes afford us with an education that others will miss. Also, believe it or not, I think that being shy gives us a slight edge in that many will easily trust us. Every man I have ever been involved with in my life, at some point in our relationship, has indicated to me that one of the things they found most attractive about me was in fact, what I have always hated most...my shyness. They told me I seemed sweet, sensitive, feminine and mysterious. Being shy led me to find my creative side, made me loyal to my friends and family, helped me find spirituality. Just a few thoughts, there are many others.

us. . They told me I seemed sweet, sensitive, feminine and mysterious. Alas, I'm not sure that such qualities are deemed so attractive in men.

Well said Angelka. I would agree with Mildman that shyness maybe sits better with girls.

unless you're shyness causes you to glare at people with seeming hatred when they talk to you because you don't know what to say back, instead of blushing or something girly.

I've said that some many times on these boards. She people are some of the best people out there. We make the best friends; the best husbands / wives....

I agree! Besides, it is a great advantage to be shy when it comes to deciding who you want to be acquainted with. If someone wants to be your friend in spite of your shyness, you can tell they are most likely very open minded and understanding. If someone rejects you just because you are shy, hey, you can always tell the person is not worth getting acquainted with in the first place.

its an easier surivial ground out there for shy girls but for shy guys the case is different.
Any guy of any sort will die to go out with a pretty girl no matter how shy she is but unfortunately the same is not the case for guys. guys never get asked out and all.
