Being shy comes with some serious disadvantages and challenges. We tried to sum some up for you in this post.

Even though you are qualified, a fast talker will get that job; you can't open up, and somebody else will get your crush... Being shy is a pain in the a*s.
Your cheeks turn red when you feel shy, and it is even worse if you have fair skin.
For example, while you are trying to prepare yourself to ask for a raise, you realize that years have passed by.
The horror of 'What if some one tries to talk to me?' is real.
Because we try to avoid speaking as much as possible.
This is actually a good thing to some extent, but yeah... only to some extent.
No, being introvert is completely different; we are just shy.
'Can't you just appreciate the fact that I have just spoken at all?'
Even though you feel like protesting by saying 'It isn't that easy for me,' you decide to not speak up. Everybody should just stop 'advising.'
So, you are actually just telling me to kill myself?
Maybe embarrassing ourselves is the only thing that we are trying to avoid.
We always hold back, no matter what we are good at. We could even become a nuclear engineer, if we wanted to.
Our territories are the back rows in the classroom and the remotest corner in the cafe, where we hang out with our friends.
We can succeed in being unnoticed until the end of the day.
Because they just find shy people cute, and date assertive people instead.
However, it isn't a problem; just a character trait. For instance, some people are grumpy; that is just who we are and we can't do much about it.
You never know...
