What Makes a Person ‘Confident’ or ‘Shy’?

Imagine your brain is like a team of players. Some people have a strong ‘confidence’ player who always speaks up and takes charge, while others have a shy player who likes to stay in the background. These players get stronger based on what happens to them every day, like being praised or feeling nervous.
