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.
Examples
- A shy child freezes when asked to speak in class, while a bold one jumps up excitedly.
- At a party, a shy person hides behind their parent, but the bold one starts chatting with strangers.
- On a team project, the shy member waits for others to speak first, and the bold one volunteers immediately.
