So, there's a gene linked to shyness now? You mean it's not just all in our mind?
CBS News is reporting that there has been a gene discovered by scientists that is linked to shyness in children and introversion in adults. The report goes on to say that they conducted three experiments involving kids, college students and young adults.
The gene is called RGS2, and these experiments showed a variation in the gene in the shy or introverted people. Although shyness and introversion aren't anxiety disorders, I found this study interesting because shyness and introversion can lead to anxiety disorders. Social Anxiety in particular.
