I think that a lot of SP people may be shy, but I do not think that all shy people have SP. Some people are just shy and feel find being around others. There is nothing wrong with being shy. I want to tell the shy people out there that it is okay to be shy. If you feel fine being around others do not worry about being a social butterfly. If everyone in the world was a social butterfly the world would suck even more, no one would listen.
