Shyness is you want and can be around people but you just dont really know how or what to communicate. I believe shyness is a form of social phobia but a lighter version. More extreme versions are feeling actually scared to be around people. You avoid situations that involve groups. You tend to be nervous about what others are thinking of you. And a severe form would be where you literally do not want to leave you house because you dont want to be around people. Im not sure if this has helped so if it hasnt im sorry!

Take care x
