Can you be shy and confident? Or are shyness and insecurity a package deal? (Page 2)

[Lelaila]

You can be shy and confident, but not during the same time. Like in a public setting. When you're shy, you simply don't feel confident at that time.

I can be shy but if there's a lady i really like or activity i really like i can be confident incarnate lol because im not gonna let my shyness make me miss out or lose a chance

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Yes!! I am shy and confident!! I raise my hand in class, but get tongue tied around guys!

[Bluemax]

Yes, I believe it's possible for a person to be shy and secure in him/herself.

[ToruMatsuda]

I'm shy, I normally keep to myself and I'm not whiny or insecure, if people talk junk to me I just ignore them or laugh at their faces, It really doesn't bother me😂

[hifromkai]

You can however be quietly confident or quietly strong but being shy in general indicates distrust or a lack of confidence

[AlwaysBelieving]

Yes, you can be shy and confident. The question is "confident in what?"

You can have confidence in say cooking eggs, but shy in meeting people.

[feminismisnarcissism]

you can be quiet and confident... but you can't be shy and confident-they are mutually exclusive.

I'm definitely on the more shy and quiet side when I'm able to be. I don't think I'm all the insecure though.

[diegoD]

ya, but its kind of difficult , they are not that mutually exclusive though I think

[BCRanger10]

Yes, you can be. I am both! :-)

[JoyGirl]

Yes, I am shy and confident. 😊

[Bandit74]

I think they usually come paired together.

[OrangeBoy]

[OrangeBoy]

But i'm both, intro and extro.

[COCOCHANEL]

[Roadcruiser1]

Package deal is rather likely.

Shyness and insecurity come together.
