Here are some physiological (or maybe I should just say verbal) reasons that contribute to my own shyness (that i suspect others experience as well): 1. I have a difficult time verbalizing my thoughts, and I'm very self-conscious about it, which keeps me relatively quiet a lot of the time. I feel like there is a chasm between my brain and my mouth. 2. I find social 'banter', especially the type you find in group conversation, contrived and difficult to participate in. A one-on-one conversation with a person is much easier for me to participate in.

Funnily enough I met somebody the other day who explained what it could be. Namely, a physiological disorder where not being able to easily understand sounds, i.e. to not have the ability to decipher them effectively. Equally it does exactly that when you speak; you can't quite make it smooth and flowing, because the feedback of even your own voice is lacking in efficiency. Song lyrics is another thing that is hard to understand. It makes group chat and banter very, very tiring because you're just having to spend tonnes of energy just keeping "with it". It's known as audio processing dissorder, and it's not all together uncommon.
