Shy is Relative

shy is relative:

to label someone as shy as though it were a fixed, immutable trait is misleading. people are variable. everyone has moments when they are stuck for words. likewise, there are times when they have a lot to say. compared to their most talkative, sometimes people are relatively shy.

it may be that with some people we find it difficult to talk. we do not feel we relate to some people. with others with whom we have a lot in common, we find it much easier to talk.

also, i suppose, in every relationship, one is relatively shyer than the other. usually someone is the dominant person in the relationship, who takes charge of the conversation. not always, but in many cases.
