Shyness: Physical (Physiological) Basis?
Shyness Workshop members discuss a research study that suggests that shyness
*may* have a physiological basis. We don't find much support for the theory
among our members, but many people would like it to be true if it meant that
a shyness pill could be developed.

Shyness: Physical Basis?
This discussion thread looks at a study at George Washington
University, which suggests that shyness may have a physiological basis.
It's a twist on the old "nature v. nuture" argument, one that didn't
muster much support in section 8. Members seemed to like the idea of
shyness being a physiological rather than a psychological problem,
especially if it were treatable with a "shyness pill." Interesting reading!
