What Makes Some People Shy and Others Bold?

Some people are shy and others are bold because of how their brains react to being in a crowd. Like when you’re at the playground, if you're shy, your brain might feel like it's in a big test where everyone is watching. But if you're bold, your brain feels more like it's playing a fun game with all your friends.
