GalwayGuy35: Yeah they do, I would be a bit quiet myself when I meet someone first.

Irish women don't seem to like quiet lads though for some reason.

Ccincy: Lana, I've been observing this thread and some of the men who have posted here don't apprear to be all that shy after observing them in the Forums.

Perhaps because its a medium which works well for shy people.

I certainly find it so. I'm able to think and take my time about replying to accurately convey that which I wish to communicate, without the same social pressures as I would experience face to face.

A friend of a friend is currently doing her Ph.D on the social function of shyness.

I've often wondered what that social function might be, as for those of us who are shy, find it non-functionally uncomfortable. There's a reason why they call it 'painful' shyness. laugh

I guess I'll have to wait for her to finish.

Lana2: Oh, hello R4S :)

Just love the expressions you're using in your texts....some very complex structures there....

You're absolutely right....people do not have sufficiently long 'live' interactions with one another, and thus are not able to exercise their intellectual and emotional powers....via the lexis, naturally..

During the process of word-exchange one's mental lexicon undergoes the expansion on all of the language levels, and its continuous fortification makes one more confident about one's language fluency....

The whole problem is in the fact that people usually do not think about the language being alive...but it is....it has its life, its power, its Beauty, it gives birth to the new words constantly (neologisms)....it reflects us...it is our main tool to express ourselves, yet so misunderstood as a living entity of the most splendid kind..Hope my text is not 2 long dear :)

Cheers :)


There could never be too many words from you, Lana.

Yes, no conversation can flow like a genuine 'live' conversation so there is no better exercise of language.. we also become maladaptive to body language and facial expressions without face to face contact, and from an emotional & social development point of view these things are arguably more important than the words themselves.

And yet society still perplexes over the rise of ADD and the demise of common sense.. How blind can they get? I really do believe that we're getting dumber by the day.

I haven´t come across any lately in my REAL world. I do get the feeling the internet hides a lot of normally shy people though.

jac379: Learning differences like ADD, ADHD, autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Irlen's Syndrome, dyslexia, dyscalulia, dyspraxia and others are all hereditary and linked.

Whilst certain coping strategies can improve difficulties, to blame a lack of face to face contact for their incidence displays an ignorance of the nature of these inherited issues.

Technology has opened up a whole new world of learning and coping strategies for me.


I know full well the difference between autism and ADD.

But to say any of these disorders is merely 'inherited' displays a complete ignorance as to how genetics work. What behaviour causing genetics are is a tendency which the environment/experience either amplifies or subdues. You must have heard of that highly intelligent Autistic person who was able to 'train' themselves away from autism - which proves that the condition is not set in stone and that an act of will can defeat them.

Considering that, short of eugenics, we can do nothing about the genetic factors leading to these disorders then to talk of the social factors is the most sensible & practical - unless genetic engineering was significantly more advanced than it is today and you or I were experts in the field.

Benjamin2012: yes they do, i can safely say i fall into that category


If a culture values explicitness and unconcealed confidence then shyness is inevitably predisposed to be regarded as weakness, and thus…….in such a culture a shy person may seem (and only seem) brazen, non-amicable or disinterested.
Such inappropriate general perception of some shy individual tends to create a number of frustrations for him/her, and brings about a whole array of communicational barriers between the X and ‘them’….(i.e. the individual whose psychological profile is interpreted incorrectly by the majority of people around him/her and the given social group).
However, in another culture, shy individuals may be seen as possessing some of the most wonderful of all human characteristics (highly intelligent, wise, considerate, empathetic, and always there to listen and really hear his/her interlocutor)…etc.


I hope this helps to clarify this matter Ben :)

Cheers :))
