Shyness

Be shy is not good. We lose a lot of opportunities in our life if we have this condition. A shy person dares to talk in public. To take the first step in a conversation is a real sacrifice for them and some other things. Shyness is a big obstacle. I know a person who is very intelligent but is very shy and he has almost five years working in the same place with the same position. He has the capacity to do others things, nevertheless, he afraid to assume others responsibilities. 

Some experts say that shyness is increasing because technology specially computers are replacing people in many activities for example when you call to a company most of the time who answer your call is a computer answer machine. Besides communication through e-mail, chat, face book and twitter keep you in the computer and conversation face to face with others is every day less common.
