Although shyness is a very common trait and almost everyone
experiences it at some level, it’s often misunderstood. That’s
because few of us ask about the frustration, anxiety, pain, and
triumphs in the life of a shy person. These experiences remain hidden,
and shy people may feel that nobody wants to know what’s going on in
their hearts, minds, and souls. Their silence often isolates them. In
Shyness: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Bernardo J. Carducci and Lisa Kaiser
help young adults address a concern that millions of teens around the
world experience. The authors emphasize that shyness is not a
character flaw that needs to be cured, or that shy people need to
remake their personalities and suddenly become extroverted. Instead,
this book provides tips and strategies to help shy teens control their
shyness by changing the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that hold
them back from reaching their true potential. Chapters in this book
look at myths about shyness what makes people shy what it feels like
to be shy how shyness affects identity how shy teens can meet people
and make friends how shy people can tackle some of their biggest
fears, like dating challenges beyond high school, such as leaving for
college and developing a career Throughout this book, teens learn that
the best-kept secret about shyness is that there’s nothing wrong
with it. Designed to help readers understand and gain a greater
appreciation for who they are, Shyness: The Ultimate Teen Guide will
teach young adults—and those closest to them—what it means to be
successfully shy.
