There are many reasons people become socially uneasy. However, nearly all those reasons are reflections of the desire to avoid some sort of emotional energy that arises in social situations - perhaps nervousness, awkwardness, insecurity, fear of rejection, or some other uncomfortable feeling. Whatever those feelings are for you, ask yourself this question: Would you have a social anxiety problem if you didn't get those feelings? Do you think a shy person would remain shy for long in the absense of negative sensations when approaching and interacting with others? Apply the MC² Method to the inner energies that you're now avoiding, and your shyness will soon disappear.
