Having worked and lived in both North America (USA and Canada) and the UK I find it's easier to be a shy or introverted person in the UK and I observe more shy people in the UK too. That's just my experience but the point is whether or not it should be celebrated there are strong cultural and societal differences about acceptance of it even within countries that are close culturally.
