influenced by others They need reassurance that they are doing the right thing Shy people are very sensitive to criticism they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority They also find it

goes hand in hand with a lack of self esteem it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths Each one of us is a unique worthwhile individual interested in our own
