Shyness and low self-esteem

I'm shy, to the point where I sometimes find it difficult to look people in the eye, but my self-esteem isn't that bad. I wouldn't say that I completely adored myself, but then again, I don't hate myself like I once did. I'm kind of in the middle. Therefore, how can it be possible for me to be shy? I thought you were shy if you felt really, really, insecure or something.

uhm well if u were once very insecure or unhappy with the way you look then i think it is still possible to be shy because of that.
I would like to think ofmyself as an outgoing person, but i still have this kind of paranoia that people don't like me and that i annoy them, so i kind of unintentionally distance myself from people.

I'm shy but I have plenty self-esteem. Not to the point where I have trouble looking people in the eye (although I don't see how it's a necessity for conversation), but self-confidence =/= extroversion.

Someone who is loud and outspoken could be just as insecure as someone who is shy. The two words don't mean the same thing.

As for why people are shy is like asking why we laugh, it's just natural.

that sounds like me. I'm a little shy (especially over the phone) and I have very low self-esteem. I suffer from Asperger's Disease and my brother has severe Social Anxiety Disorder...pm me if you like :) and be happy
