Shy or crippling lack of confidence?

Cute cartoon facing coming up from bottom of screen with the caption 'Is it time to come out yet?'

Cartoon:  Title

Artist: Jenny

ARTIST SAYS:

I'm your classic hider. I sometimes have things to say but am so scared of what others think I keep it to myself. Might my idea be so ‘out there’ that nobody thinks the same, leaving me feeling alone and stupid. I look at this picture and think, aw, isn't (he) cute, looking all shy and unsure. I spend a lot of my time feeling unsure of myself. But we are all unique and all have a story to share. So I work through that self doubt and come out of my shell to say hello anyway.

Are you shy?  Do you lack self belief?  Do you have a story to share?
