to a certain extent you are born not shy or shy.

I saw one of those documentaries where they visit a child when there very young like 2 or 4 years old and then visit them when they are 7 and then again when they are 14.

They found that the children who are very explorative when they are small like they go out and about (very independent) tend to be the more outgoing.

The one's who start crying when they stray from there parent or an adult are usually the ones who are shy are reserved.

This system is not 100% onother poster on here said that life experence is a factor and that's true. Children who where not very explorative soemtimes turned out to be the kids who climbed trees and the ones who where very independent as toddlers soemtimes ended up as the more reserved non risk takers types.

Although you can see how a child will mostlikely turn out when they are a toddler you have to facer in that everyone is different and that people change with life experence.

Some are born shy.
Others acquire shyness.
And some even have shyness thrust upon them !

NO....you are not born shy or a social butterfly. What you are now is the product of your experiences growing up. It is a developed trait; not in-born.

I was a very shy teenage boy.
Afraid to approach girls that I liked very much because I was afraid of the rejection.
As I got older with experience, I learned how to approach women with being myself and relaxed without the stress of feeling rejected. I realized that there are so many options out there on the dating scene and there is no need to rush into love.

I was shy about speaking in front of a group people.
That used to be so intimidating but, I out grow the shyness over time.
I believe shyness will be overcome if we interact with people more often. It will develop on its own.

Bad and good experiences will shape and mold our character.

I was born shy I know that for sure. There were times I would never strike a conversation with people just because am simply shy person. But now with the Internet around, I feel more comfortable and more relaxed to chat and interact with others and its helping somehow to overcome part of being shy since you are not face to face with that person until you meet.
So I use the Internet as a tool to help me overcome being shy but the minute I get used to someone and know them that well, then being shy would be just something of the past.

Of course not. The doctor spanks the newborn, and the baby cries real loud. First interaction.

Your being is the result of the confluence of many different factors, of external forces acting upon you. Had you been born in another place and time and exposed to different circumstances, you would have been a different person.

they were born upside down.

To a certain extent, yes. A child's temperament is largely determined by genetics, but this doesn't mean that people can't change.

Not shy ..... people are born naked.
Sometimes you could see some children less than 4 years old running in the street without any clothing.

it depends... some people are just anit-social, some are really shy, some are outgoing....

I think so. Some people are naturally outgoing, while others have to be trained to be so.

No, I don't think so. Some kids are extrovert, some are not. I think it depends on the environment one grew up in, with the parents who encourage their children not to be shy and on the person himself. There are factors that make people, as kids, shy away from people or their peer.

absolutly. everyone was born with a persoality type. its up to the parents to give the child tools to get on in life. i was born shy too but there were 10 other children back to back and no time 2 teach me to come out of myself so to speak. im 30 now and have to do the work myself.
