Shyness is the feeling of apprehension or lack of confidence felt in regard to social situations. Shyness is most likely to occur during unfamiliar situations, though in acute cases it may hinder an individual in their most familiar situations and relationships as well.

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I decided it would be a good idea to speed my computer up by reinstalling Windows. Unfortunately this was a much longer and more stressful exercise than I had envisaged.
