Being shy is like having a tiny turtle inside you that sometimes wants to hide in its shell. When you meet new people or go to new places, the turtle might feel a bit scared and want to stay hidden. It’s not because the turtle doesn’t like the people or places, it just needs some extra time to feel safe and comfortable.
Think of shyness as a little cloud that sometimes floats above your head. This cloud makes you feel a bit nervous or unsure, like when you’re about to say something in front of the class. But remember, clouds can move away with the wind, and your feelings of shyness can too.
Imagine you have a special treasure chest inside you filled with your thoughts and feelings. When you’re shy, you might want to keep the chest closed because you’re not ready to share what’s inside. But as you feel more at ease, you can open the chest little by little, showing others the wonderful things you have to share.
