I agree to a degree, I too am a fairly shy person and it does suck, especially when you're trying to find a significant other. However, I also hate being told that I'm shy or quiet, it's almost humiliating, especially if I'm told that when I've opened up a bit. I do think there are some positive aspects to being shy, but, at least in American society I would argue those advantages are less than others.
