Actually, I think you're right on topic -- how being shy has costs. Of course, it has payoffs, too. You just have to evaluate the relative worth of being shy vs. being fully self-expressed.
If there are certain types of personalities that you can never be free with, then you're not really free at all. You're completely at the effect of other people. That's a pretty high cost, in my book. Perhaps the payoffs (like feeling safe) compensate for that, but I can't think of any payoffs that would be worth me voluntarily giving up my freedom for.
