The superpower of the shy is that they usually do more listening than talking.

Loudness is not confidence.

Fast talk is not good talk.

Assertiveness is not better than stick-to-itiveness.

Shy people often make unrealistic social comparisons, pitting themselves against the most vibrant or outgoing individuals. Believing that others are constantly evaluating them poorly, shy people abandon new social opportunities—which, in turn, prevents them from improving their social skills.

Better listeners, more thoughtful, intelligent and being more likely to think before speaking – real superpowers.
