If you meet someone shy...

This page is to help people who meet someone shy. Here is a list of DO's and DON'Ts.

DON'T:
1) Be patronising
2) Make a big thing out of their shyness - it doesn't help them
3) Ask them why they're shy - it isn't as if they choose to be. Asking someone why they're shy is the worst thing you can possibly do. It puts them on the spot with a question they can't answer no matter how hard they try. What would you say if you were in their position?
4) Make nasty comments - suggest they might be mute etc.
5) Completely ignore them
6) Act as if they are stupid

DO:
1) Be considerate and think about what they're feeling
2) Leave them alone a little and they'll talk when they feel ready
3) Talk to them a little to make them feel more at ease but don't tell them to speak
4) Be friendly - difficult for some I know
5) Empathise

AND JUST SO YOU DON'T FORGET I'LL SAY THIS AGAIN. NEVER EVER ASK SOMEONE WHY THEY ARE SHY!!! THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE DUMBEST QUESTION EVER - I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS ASKED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE EXPECTED ME TO SAY, AND I SURE WASN'T GOING TO ANSWER, "BECAUSE I'M LUCKY"!!!!!
