I was this way and so is one of my sons. I’ve dealt with it by, what some may call, excessive working out. And in the most solitary ways. Trail runs, weight lifting (at home of course. Hate gyms, calisthenics in my carport. And lo and behold, my shy son who is only two, has been emulating me, trying to do squats and burpees the best he can at this age. His older brother is pure extrovert like my wife. I don’t want my younger son to have to feel the way I always did. I’m at a loss to help him. If we go to a park he won’t do anything unless he’s with big brother.
I was like this when I was young...I was described as someone who has “inferiority complex”....my parents put me in school at a very young age and exposed me to several outside school activities! Now, I’m a Learning and Development practitioner who trains employees/executives....and nobody believes me when I say I was a shy person! But, I still feel shy when I feel insecure or when I think about what others would say....but I guess my profession just trained me to look and sound confident
I'm shy and it crippled me growing up and I was left out and not pretty enough, or smart enough. I always had only one friend when the one friend abandoned me i was so alone and miserable and didn't have skills to make friends easily. It has never been a good trait for me.
Great video, I’m going to get his book. My 7 year old son has been struggling with anxiety at school, he’s just like I was at that age, extremely shy. I want to address it now so it won’t hold him back from making friends, enjoying activities, etc.
I know all about this disorder. It destroyed me. I became an alcoholic and drug addict because of shyness and mental illness. I was on the extreme aspect of the spectrum. I needed professional help. I'm 52 now. I disagree here. I think shyness to my extent is irreparably harmful. Of course, I'm a living example of extreme shyness.

Shyness is genetic, I don't doubt that. My aunt and my grandma both had these issues.

He looks like someone who has problems of shyness himself.
Stupid comment
I thought the same thing. I would say shyness is not problem… but rather it is a character trait.
Perhaps that’s why he wrote this book, to help other children with what he went through.
