5 Please remove "American culture" and replace with "many cultures"

[edit] Introversion?

This article should not link to the Introversion article. Such things only serve to perpetuate stereotypes regarding introverted people.

Introversion has nothing to do with shyness, and the vast majority of introverts are not shy.

[edit] External links cleanup

The links here seem to be a little value. We need fewer, higher quality links that are actually useful. However, as soon as I removed one of the worst of the bunch (shyunited forums), it got reverted. We need to do SOMETHING, not just leave it the way it is. Someone else please come up with some suggestions. -- Barrylb 04:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't get why the shyunited forum was such a bad useless link. I'm not as familiar with wikipedia as you but I use the forum daily and it has helped me with my shyness talking to others who are also shy. Maybe its not a scientific description of shyness or whatever but it helps. Please give your arguement as to why it should be deleted. Bodhi395 19:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I removed the link to http://www.social-anxiety.com/ as it is just an ad for a $300 CD. ChewyCaligari 21:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Simple English article

Can anyone create a simple English version of the article?--Luke Elms 01:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please remove "American culture" and replace with "many cultures"

The statement is untrue, especially in the Midwestern states. This trait is not exclusive to the USA as a whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.189.5.201 (talk) 16:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
