shy

Shyness isn't a problem if you just let it pass. It takes time and a lot of encouragement for people to get over their shyness. Then again, kids may have a good reason for being really quiet, for instance if they have a game boy, are masturbating and don't want anyone to know, or if they have a mouthful of water. Talking or loud activity is a bad thing in this situation. A wise, famous man once said, »When in doubt, Whip it out.«
