No More Shyness

Shyness is an ever-increasing problem and fostered, many feel, by the technology available nowadays. Online dating, email, and virtual anonymity are realities in today’s world. For most of us, these are merely conveniences; but for many, these are simply ways to avoid directly connecting to others. They are literally in hiding from the world. Reaching out and touching someone is terrifying to the seriously shy and socially phobic. There’s much less awkwardness when dealing with others via the internet. No one would see them or hear them; they feel safe.
