imo Social anxiety disorder and Autism go hand in hand. Most shy people I interact with come off atleast slightly autistic to me. Also many shy people become psychological messes by the time they hit 17-21, probably because they get bullied throughout their lives.
A person who is timid and avoids talking to people. When talking, He might avoid making eye contact, he might be unable to open up to you etc. Justin bieber used to be shy.
Well, i prefer people who can't stop talking. That way i don't have to do much effort myself, since i'm lazy and hate having to drag conversations along just because the other one can't seem to speak his mind.
But all in all i try to be polite and make the shy people more comfortable.
It depends how shy they are really. I often find it awkward to speak to them one to one because it goes silent half way through the conversation but I bare with them because I am a very patient person.
I feel this way. I'm more affable when I've had two or three down my gullet. Otherwise, I'm quite reserved and have been since I was very young. I have a hard time meeting new people but once I get past the initial fear then I'm fairly open.
I'm very asocial, as in I do not really care to engage in most social activities, so I guess you can call me shy as I really don't like to be around people for too long, as being around others actually drains me rather than the other way around. I prefer my peace and quiet, as well as my solitude. Many people say that's weird, but I don't really care.
I'm ridiculously shy and socially awkward. To the point where I can't carry a conversation and can't even look at people in the eyes. It's difficult for me to even buy stuff at the store sometimes because of it. I also don't like to be around lots of people either and perfer to be more secluded. I'm basically the male version of Tomoko from Watamote.
Slowly trying to overcome it though. I guess it's really all in my head.
People think I'm shy but I'm not. I just hate basically everyone so I keep my mouth shut and stay away from people to avoid trouble or be unpleasant to them.
I used to be hella shy, but once I was comfortable I was something else. I think I've outgrown my shyness for the most part, now you'd probably never guess I was a shy person. Also my shyness lead people to believe I was quite stuck up. I got called conceited a lot. I can see someone masking their shyness by being a stuck up prick, probably one of the best covers.
So no, I don't have any issues with shy people. It's the people who are too quiet and nice all the time that you have to watch out for.

Nips up the nearest tree."
Gonna call you Pratchett Demure from now on in honour of one of my favourite Genesis songs.
If i see a shy person in a busy public place, i'll usually pounce by going up to them and screaming in their face asking them why they're shy. This way it causes a huge scene, they buckle and start crying like they just lost a jackpot lottery ticket. That just my nature though, other people might just leave them alone.
I prefer shy people over people who just keep talking and talking about uninteresting bullshit all day, I just can't stand it. A few years ago I worked with a really shy guy at a warehouse and I enjoyed it, just silence for 8 hours (Y)
Fun Fact: The GOAT Bret Hart used to be shy. He has written in his book that he originally started wearing sunglasses during his entrances to hide shyness in his eyes.
