The primary defining characteristic of shyness is a largely ego-driven fear of what other people will think of a person’s behaviour, which results in the person becoming scared of doing or saying what he or she wants to, out of fear of negative reactions, criticism, rejection, and simply opting to avoid social situations instead.
