[quote=Anonymous]I was extremely shy child and 5 and 6 years was probably the height of - like could not speak loud enough for the waitress to understand my order, never spoke in class unless called upon shy. Long story short I grew out of it and brief frequently and am considered outspoken as an adult though I am still an introvert just not perceived as one. It was a long journey but supportive parents, comfortable and supportive classrooms, and lots of gradual opportunities to perform first in dance roles, then small speaking parts, and ultimately larger speaking roles/debate opportunities went a long way to getting me out of my shell. I think everyone's underlying reasons for shyness differ and mine stemmed from being a natural introvert and was a bit environmental with two shy parents who expected no back talk from children. Just wanted to chime in that some but not all people outgrow their shyness. [/quote]
