shyness

Shyness results from a fear of communicating your intent. You fear communicating your intent because it opens you to rejection. You hide your intent because, personally, you are ashamed of operating from a known motive. To have your own motive opens you to judgment and the high of social validation or the low of complete invalidation.

The valuation you place upon this fear determines your sense of risk. That guides you in making 'real' decisions.

From Susanne Langer's "Feeling and Form":

From Geoffrey Scott's 'The Architecture of Humanism':
"They [the baroque architects] wished to communicate, through architecture, a sense of exultant vigor and overflowing strength ... a huge gigantic organism through which currents of continuous vigor might be conceived to run." (p. 262, note 4)
