Description: You are afraid of saying the wrong thing to others so you do not speak.
Gameplay: When confronted with new people you must make a Will roll (TN=4) to overcome your Shyness. If the other person is attractive, you must add their Reaction bonus to your Shyness level.

One special rule applies when you fail your Will roll: The GM may assign a number of bonus dice or penalty dice to the other person’s Reaction roll to you. The number of dice assigned may not exceed the amount by which you missed your Will roll.

Jim has Shyness=5 and Will=6. He sees Darla, who is incredibly beautiful (Beauty=10, +4 Reaction bonus). He wants to speak to her, so he needs to make a Will roll. He rolls 6 dice (for Will) and only gets 5 Ss, 4 short of the 9 Ss he needed (5 for his Shyness + 4 for her beauty). Because Darla thinks Jim’s Shyness is "cute", the GM decides to give Darla 2 bonus dice to her Reaction roll to Jim.
