[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it's society that needs to be kinder and not undermine people with social anxiety. Shy people are picked on because people know they can get away with it. They try to put her down so they can be dominant and climb the social ladder. They see she is more quiet and they use that to their advantage. Is she good looking? They might be jealous too. If she is introduced to a new group as shy, it makes it even harder. If she has 3 friends and is involved in things, that seems pretty good. It is painful to get singled out and be put down constantly. She could try to assert herself more by saying something like "once I get to know someone, I talk a lot", or turn the tables and comment on something about the other person to change the subject and make them the focus instead.[/quote]
