Sorry to open this part with such distressing facts. But you want me to tell it like it is, right? I hope you know that I’m giving you the following information as a further incentive to say “good-bye to shy.”
A report from the American Psychological Association revealed that even brilliant and talented Shys are at a great professional disadvantage. The report, entitled “Social Phobia and Difficulties in Occupational Adjustment,” referenced dozens of studies by the world’s foremost shyness researchers.28
The bottom line is that Shys are generally undervalued and underpaid for their talents. They are less apt to get a job that utilizes their education and abilities. And Shys’ careers are more unstable right on through midlife.
That’s chilling.
