It involves feelings of excessive self-consciousness, negative self-evaluation and negative self-preoccupation, he explained.

I disagree. In my specific case at least, shyness stemmed from intense introspection and a “completionist” philosophy that required me to learn everything possible about a new situation/person/system before using/talking to/working with it.

Implying that shyness is always the result of negativity is misguided and misleading.
