Social Media Shyness



     Why does social media not bring out shyness like public speaking will?  I find this to be true for both students and adults, ask them to speak or explain something in front of a group and you have never seen students so quiet or nervous giggles.  Yet they will post pictures of silly moments in their lives.  They tweet about stupid things they have done, or share their inner most thoughts through quotes.   I know they think it anonymous when they post something online, but those post get out to more people who if anything would judge them more harshly then people would in person.  I don’t know if there is ways we can help our students overcome this shyness easily, but I think it is something we need to try to do.
