I have selective shyness. I basically shutdown when I feel like I have to make a perfect impression on the people/person I am with. My husband's family considered me way too quiet in the beginning, and if you talk to others that know me, they would say quite the opposite lol. I also tend to be shy around men, because when I was in high school, guys took my giggly personality as flirting. Those instances have stuck with me. So, it's helpful to read about others shyness and how to power through it. (:
