The point is,that being that way all the time and using it as an excuse to never be the opposite of shy,it's not good. It's not good for your life, your interactions,strenght of character and how diverse and interesting you can be. You are MORE than shy. Don't be labeled, be what you wanna be in any given moment.

They follow the conversation that they're actually having, the conversation that is specifically being avoided, the tone being applied to the overt conversation, the buried conversation that is being covered only in subtext, and finally the other person's body language........When I, and most other people with a Y chromosome, have a conversion, we're having a conversation. Singular. We're paying attention to what is being said, considering that, and replying to it. All these other conversations have been going on for the last several thousand years? I didn't even know they existed...... I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one......So ladies, if you ever have some conversation with your boyfriend or husband or brother or male friend, and you are telling him something perfectly obvious, and he comes away from it utterly clueless? I know it's tempting fate to think to yourself, 'The man can't possibly be that stupid!'But yes. Yes, he can.","author":"Jim Butcher","tags":["conversations","men","women"],"id":74921,"author_id":"Jim+Butcher"},{"text":"It is finally about the quality of the conversations and silences we share, isn't it?

You have to explain things to children as to why certain things happen. I think that a good way of improving comprehension is to read the newspaper with your child.
