GO FROM BEING SHY TO “SUCCESSFULLY SHY” We'd rather understand shy people than try to change them. Our goal is to help shy individuals to understand and appreciate their shyness so that they learn to take control of it, instead of their shyness controlling them.
Each shy individual’s experience with shyness is unique. However, when discussing their shyness, there are certain questions that tend to be asked with a high degree of frequency by shy individuals. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about shyness, along with some information in response to those questions.
The tips and resources presented here are designed to help shy shyness individuals, along with those who know and care about them, deal more effectively with their shyness.
The Indiana University Southeast Shyness Research Institute is a resource for a variety of media sources seeking information about different aspects of shyness. Here are some of the many and diverse media items featuring various aspects of shyness.
Research reports available from the Shyness Research Institute.

A powerful and supportive strategy to help others deal more effectively with their shyness is to share your own story of shyness. Help other shy individuals know they are not alone by telling us your “shyness story.” Email us with “Your Shyness Story.”
