Unfortunately, I have some personal experience with social anxiety disorder,
and if severe, it is far worse than "shyness."
It is very hard for most people to understand why a seemingly normal person
would refuse to get out of the car for 3 hours during a social occasion. It
seems crazy, rude, selfish or all of the above. Medication really can help.
But now that I think about it, this all would make a pretty good Onion
article...
