Shyness Test

Severe Shyness

Shyness is the tendency to feel awkward, tense, or worried during social interactions, especially with new or unfamiliar people. This emotion often affects how a person behaves around others. Your score indicates that you have severe shyness. You will likely feel nervous, timid, insecure, or uncomfortable around numerous or unfamiliar people. It is likely to experience physical sensations such as blushing, speechlessness, upset stomach, or shakiness. Simply thinking about the prospect of a social encounter may be enough to cause you significant discomfort and distress. Your shyness may cause you to withdraw from social situations, avoid communicating with others, or encounter challenges at school or work. If you feel your shyness negatively impacts your daily quality of life, you may want to speak with a certified mental health professional about coping strategies.
