‘If you yourself are a shy one, then please try not to settle for living in your isolation cage. Take every opportunity a stranger or colleague or associate may offer and run with it. There is no need to be scared of people or believe that what you have to contribute is worthless. Take a chance, get involved and slowly the cage will open.’

Things In My Head 
If you’re an extrovert, then please don’t lecture introverts about living in a cage. If you want them to interact with you more try respecting their personalities and life decisions rather than pathologising them and insisting they become more like you. Take every opportunity to examine your own behaviour and how it may be contributing to how others present to you. Take a chance, stop being patronising and slowly the universe will open to your own acceptance of it.

Thanks Judy. Perhaps with a little encouragement and kindness, today’s shy people can be tomorrow’s heroes.

You’re welcome Sue. I love how you phrased that, humbleness is so beautiful. I think encouragement is like food, essential but most of us are starving :(. I think of shy people as unsung heroes. They quietly and anonymously do good things without being credited.
