How a Person Becomes Shy
For some people, shyness may be a genetic trait and for other people it might be a learned behavior. Since the late 1980s there has been some research that indicates genetic links for shyness in some people. Those different genetic links are currently being studied.
Other people might suffer from shyness because they feel awkward in certain situations. This may have developed because they were never taught how to act in those situations or because they suffered from harsh ridicule or an embarrassing incident in those types of situations in the past.
