"Itâ€™s funnyâ€”when people call you â€œshy,â€ they usually smile. Like itâ€™s cute, some funny little habit youâ€™ll grow out of when youâ€™re older, like the gaps in your grin when your baby teeth fall out. If they knew how it feltâ€”really being shy, not just unsure at firstâ€”they wouldnâ€™t smile. Not if they knew how the feeling knots up your stomach or makes your palms sweat or robs you of the ability to say anything that makes sense. Itâ€™s not cute at all."
