When we are with friends, we should try to attract and bring them closer to us. Smile is one of the easiest way. People like to see happy faces greeting them. When you smile, you will transmmit joy and happiness to them.

Some kids are born shy and more sensitive. Sometimes even babies act shy. Have you ever seen a baby hide his or her face from a stranger? On the other hand, another baby might kick, smile, and wave at everyone, even strangers.

But if you weren't shy as a little kid, it's still possible to be a shy person. You might have learned to be shy because of experiences you've had at school or home. And sometimes you only feel shy for a short while, like the first time you get on a new school bus. This type of shyness often goes away after you get adjusted. For example, after a few days, you'll probably have a seat you like to sit in and you'll get to know friends on the bus.
