is shy in new circumstances and in unfamiliar places, but in every day life he isn't. Like at school he isn't at all unless the teacher asks him a question then he speaks quietly. I think that he does that though because he's afraid he will get the wrong answer. His self confidence is going down the tubes fast. He's shy around adults I think too, because when I gave him money the other day to buy a poppy ( for Rememberance Day) he was shy about putting it in the box that the man was holding, so I did it for him. And when we go to the store and I give him money for a goodie, he doesn't like to pay for it himself, but I usually encourage him too anyway. But around children he's not shy at all. He likes to make everyone laugh, no matter how silly he has to be to accomplish that. His very best friend is a really shy boy around adults too. However, he has no problem speaking in front of the church congregation, he really surprises me that way, and I think he does well with speeches at school too. He doesn't think anything of doing that sort of thing. So I think perhaps yes, in some ways that he is; yet he likes attention too. That was a hard question ..hehe!
