Voice 1 
Experience also affects shyness. Some people become shy because of what has happened to them. For example, children who are overly criticized by their family can become shy.  The Shyness Institute says that children who are shy usually have parents that have fewer friends and fewer family social activities.
Voice 2 
But children with sensitive characters do not only have negative experiences. Good experiences can help sensitive children become more bold. They can even grow up to be adults who are not very shy.

Voice 1 
Many cultures place a high value on being social. And people who are bold can be more successful socially. Shy people may feel that they are not as good as social people. Shy people may feel that they have a disadvantage in their social life and in their work.
Voice 2 
But shyness can be an advantage. Many shy people have good characters and good skills. Shy people are often very good at listening.  They are good friends because they listen more than they talk. Susan Cain is the shy woman who became a lawyer and writer. She explains how researchers have even seen these good qualities in shy children:
Voice 3 
“Children who are shy also show stronger consciences. They are much less likely to cheat or lie - even when they think they cannot be caught. People form their consciences by being sensitive to disapproval. A sensitive child is forming a strong conscience early on. Studies show that these children are much more likely to show sympathy for others. This continues all the way through life. So when you look at these children when they grow up they have good characteristics like sympathy and honesty.”
Voice 1 
But not all shy people are able to show these good characteristics. Professor Tony Kashdan of George Mason University explains to NPR:
Voice 6 
“Some people with extreme shyness might have these good morals. They may be sympathetic or giving or thankful. But we find that these skills are often unused. The reason is that very shy people are so self-focused. They are very worried about making a mistake. They are so focused on whether someone else can see their fear. This makes it difficult to support other people.”
Voice 2 
A shy person may not have a choice about being shy. She becomes shy because of her genetic character and her experience. But, she can learn to use the good skills that many shy people have. In this way she can do something good with her shy character.
