teachers, coaches, and friends, anti-Semitism, and other sources, while all performance
success is credited to the individual’s enterprise.” The consequence is that Israelis are free
to take risks since there is nothing to lose by trying and everything to gain (10).
6 In addition to family and culture, technology may play a role as well. In the United
States, the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50
percent in recent years (10). The rising numbers of shy young people may be “due in part to
the growing dependence on non-human forms of communication, coming about as a result
of our huge advances in technology” (Payne, par. 4). Watching television, playing video
games, and surfing the Web have displaced recreational activities that involve social
interaction for many young people. Adults, too, are becoming more isolated as a result of
technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank tellers, gas station attendants, and store
clerks are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking, fill
their gas tanks, and order merchandise. College students take online telecourses.
Telecommuters work at home, giving up daily contact with coworkers. Everyone texts, emails,
and converses anonymously in online chat rooms. As a result, people have less
opportunity to socialize in person, become increasingly awkward at it, and eventually start
avoiding it altogether. In short, they become shy.
7 While being shy has some negative consequences, it has positive aspects, too. For
one thing, it has been mentioned that shy people are good listeners (“Shyness”). 3
Furthermore, a university professor writing about his own shyness says, “Because of their
tendency toward self-criticism, shy people are often high achievers, and not just in solitary
activities like research and writing. Perhaps even more than the drive toward independent
achievement, shy people long to make connections to others, often through altruistic
behavior” (Benton).4
8 To sum up, shyness has both genetic and environmental causes. Some people come
into the world shy, while others become shy as a result of their experiences in life. It
appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives, and recent
research indicates that the number of shy people is increasing. Therefore, if you are shy, you
have lots of company.
