Can shyness be a mental problem?

just wanna know because im a really shy person and its hard for me to talk to ppl and maybe thats the reason why i don't have any friends, but some ppl like to get to know me and they think im kool but then i can't seem to be around alot of ppl u know and it makes me think that im weird or something.
Answer:
If you had a mental problem, you probably would not be asking this question. I was really shy until I was about 30 years old, and sometimes I'm still pretty shy. It probably means that you are a nice person. Just be careful as you grow older, alot of people will try to take advantage of shy people. Just learn how to say 'no', and stick to it. People will respect you for that. Don't worry about it, and keep being who you are.
im a shy person 2. but i try to talk to ppl that want to b my friend. and then you start to no a lot more ppl and then u become unshy (if thats a word) but ya... eventually, u'll come out of ur shell. its not like any1's gonna attack u for not talking. :D
well some people are born shy are you like those people that sre shy at public places but when you get home you never shut? Well all i can say is surround yourself with friends it doesnt look good on you if you walk by yourself all the time even one person like BF is better than just you
Severe shyness is social anxiety. I don't know how shy you are exactly, so I'm not going to say you have social anxiety. How about you try something like a drama class or a debate team? Something that you enjoy that will get you actively participating with a group of people. If you absolutely cannot do this, not just because you are shy, but because it causes you great anxiety, perhaps try therapy with a qualified psychologist. If that doesn't help, there is medication out there, but leave it as a last resort. Therapy doesn't have side effects or adverse reactions.
Maybe you are afraid of them not liking you. i have the same exact problem. You must be a real outgoing person, only if people get to know you. I beleive you have to start coming out of your shell and stop caring if people you meet like you or not, if they don't, fine! They are not good enough for you to be associating with. The wise associate with the wise remember that.
Been shy is a emotional problem
Shyness can be totally normal, but if you can't go out to parties or other social situations because of incapacitating worry and anxiety about it, that's a big sign of social anxiety disorder, a very common mental health issue in North America. Check out some websites to see if that sounds like you. they'll have some tips for dealing with shyness as well. I feel for you, I'm really shy too and don't like being in crowds.
Shyness is not a mental problem.It happens to everyone..depends on the occasion.It is not something abnormal.But it is a mental block.You've to learn to overcome it.You can try to indulge yourself in personal development programme by joining some social organisation.It will help to mould your positive character! Good luck!
there's nothing wrong with being shy. i dont know how old u are but there comes time when u need to speak and get your words and ideas across to others. Its the key form of communication in this world, so i definately think that if ur shy its not a problem but it shouldn't mean that you pry away from speaking to people especially people who seem to like u or u them.
Medically, yes. Realistically no.

I have NO clue how old you are, but if u r entering teen or in your teens, chances are your hormones are going fucnky and you are about to become really outgoing.

When i was in middle school, i was one of those kids that was always by himself, talked to no one. the only time a girl ever talked to me was to ask the answer to number 5 on the math homework.

But, when i entered high school, i said "hell with it!" and decided to just have fun. Next thing i know, i am having fun and popular.

And then, i created my two most IMPORTANT mottos:
1. Go with the flow
2. the worst thing you could do is fart loudly in class, so just don't drink alot of soda and go crazy.

IF you ARE a teen, or entering teen, get ready, you are about to have fun!
im shy too but i tried hard to overcome my shyness. its not a mental problem but you a have a problem of low self esteem and inferiority complex. i know ive been in your position but to tell you how i overcome this? i just think that im special because everyone of us is unique and try to make friends.think positive and always smile!
Shyness is more of a personality thing. Lots of people are shy, but they try to hide it. If you like being in small groups, there is nothing wrong with you. You are probably an introvert. So am I.

If you want to learn to be in larger groups of people, just try a little at a time. You don't have to talk much. Lots of people like to be around a good listener.

Try not to be so hard on yourself. Just try to be who you are and you will attract people who accept you and enjoy your company.

You are not weird. You are unique just like each of us. We have different ways of expressing ourselves. Just take one step at a time and have fun.
See your doctor.

To me, it sounds like you might have Social Anxiety Disorder.
Low serotonin can result in extreme shyness and social anxiety.
I am shy too! I also find it hard to talk to people around me.
