What’s the difference between shyness and social anxiety?

<https://theconversation.com/whats-the-difference-between-shyness-and-social-anxiety-225669>

"The terms “shyness” and “social anxiety” are often used interchangeably
because they both involve feeling uncomfortable in social situations.

However, feeling shy, or having a shy personality, is not the same as
experiencing social anxiety (short for “social anxiety disorder”).

Here are some of the similarities and differences, and what the distinction
means."
