"My feelings are too loud for words and too shy for the world."
― Dejan Stojanovic

"Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts. We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding. Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough."
― Victoria Erickson

"Just because you don't say much doesn't mean people don't notice you. It's actually the quiet ones who often draw the most attention. There's this constant whirlwind of motion and sound all around, and then there's the quiet one, the eye of the storm."
― Amy Efaw, After

"Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although very normal, their inner world is by default fronted mysterious and therefore assumed weird. Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person; they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all."
― Criss Jami, Healology

"Clearly she was expected to say something, but panic at having to speak stole the thoughts from her head."

"May feel like you're falling', Tabby, but remember, I'm at the bottom ready to catch you."

"One is always half mad when one is shy of people."
― Robert Walser, Jakob von Gunten

"She holds herself with such reserve. She smiles, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes, even in the company of the girls she's chosen to eat with. Why?
I have no clue, and I really don't want to spend my time worrying about it. But my brain pushes at the question anyway.
Why are people aloof?
Because they don't want to let others in.
Why don't they want to let others in?
Well, sometimes because they're shy, and sometimes because they're convinced of their own superiority.
But those aren't the only reasons. Sometimes it's because thay have something to hide."
― Lauren Myracle, Bliss

"I'm bored," he says.
"So go home."
"I don't want to. What do you do when you're bored? You don't have Internet or TV. Do you just sit around all day and think about how hot I am?"
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

"She looked at him, his soft brown eyes and tall form, and contemplated raising herself on her toes and kissing his ear, or his cheek...

Instead, impulsively before leaving, she reached up and smoothed his mussed hair.

Mr. Bradford beamed."
― Heather Dixon, Entwined

"I had become awkward and tried my best to avoid everyone. I hated attention, people asking me questions or putting me in the spotlight; I preferred to blend into the background unnoticed. I felt safer that way"
― Giovanna Fletcher, Billy and Me

"Of all individuals, the hated, the shunned, and the peculiar are arguably most themselves. They wear no masks whatsoever in order to be accepted and liked; they do seem most guarded, but only by their own hands: as compared to the populace, they are naked."
― Criss Jami, Healology

"Once bitten twice shy? Sure, but... why not get a bigger dog and bite them back?"
― A.A. Bell , Hindsight

"The humble ones are always learning and improving, and their secret is always that it's a secret."
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

"Because there are hundreds of different ways to say one thing, I, being a writer, songwriter, and poet, speak childishly and incoherently. In speech there is so much to decide in so little time."
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

"Nothing is as irritating to a shy man as a confident girl."
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

"Cavendish is a book in himself. Born into a life of sumptuous privilege- his grandfathers were dukes, respectively, of Devonshire and Kent- he was the most gifted English scientist of his age, but also the strangest. He suffered, in the words of one of his few biographers, from shyness to a "degree bordering on disease." Any human contact was for him a source of the deepest discomfort.

Once he opened his door to find an Austrian admirer, freshly arrived from Vienna, on the front step. Excitedly the Austrian began to babble out praise. For a few moments Cavendish received the compliments as if they were blows from a blunt object and then, unable to take any more, fled down the path and out the gate, leaving the front door wide open. It was some hours before he could be coaxed back to the property. Even his housekeeper communicated with him by letter.

Although he did sometimes venture into society- he was particularly devoted to the weekly scientific soirees of the great naturalist Sir Joseph Banks- it was always made clear to the other guests that Cavendish was on no account to be approached or even looked at. Those who sought his views were advised to wander into his vicinity as if by accident and to "talk as it were into vacancy." If their remarks were scientifically worthy they might receive a mumbled reply, but more often than not they would hear a peeved squeak (his voice appears to have been high pitched) and turn to find an actual vacancy and the sight of Cavendish fleeing for a more peaceful corner."
― Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything

"He was rather clumsy and shy and looked as if he'd spent the last ten years of his life locked up in a library - hardly the kind of man any girl your age dreams of ..."
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Midnight Palace

"It's important, however, to understand that being introverted is different from being shy or antisocial. Shyness is insecurity or fear of social embarrassment, and the word "antisocial" describes someone who has hostile or harmful feelings toward society. Introversion is a preference that has to do with where you direct your energy (inward), how you recharge (usually by being alone), and what level of outside stimulation you're comfortable with (less is more). It's not a weakness to overcome or something to be cured. It's just how some of us are designed."
― Aaron Caycedo-Kimura, Text, Don't Call: An Illustrated Guide to the Introverted Life

"The specific lines I've climbed are interchangeable, but learning to climb with the support of loved ones helped me develop from a shy girl into an independent confident adulta. Deep down, that's really what climbing has given me."
― Chris Noble, Why We Climb: The World's Most Inspiring Climbers

"Since she started skateboarding, it has been her departure from the ordinary. It makes her feel strong even though most other times she's seen as quiet and shy."
― Sierra Prescott, Shredders: Girls Who Skate

"Pour les belles âmes, la
timidité est souvent une forme
d'enfermement permanent, source de
grande douleur, de dévalorisation et de
doutes profonds ; pourtant ces mêmes
belles âmes auraient tant à donner,
à recevoir et à partager…"
― V. H. Scorp

"A thousand charms are collected in the white of gaze and your black eyes

May that spoiled blink, take shelter in my heart

How beautiful is love when the blush of your lips trembles holding shy"
― J.S. Dirga, Saga Moon Poem
