Is it bad to be a shy person?

It is bad to be any kind of Hoomin. It is best to be a cat.

Right, that really depends. You want someone to talk when you need feedback, otherwise you may as well want to speak to the wall. As long as we follow social norms and try our best to not hurt people's feelings I think being shy is not bad or doesn't really matter.

There are a lot of types between shy and rude! I've also known people to be both (or come across as shy because they are rude/ignorant). I was quite a shy child (most people wouldn't believe that now ). I don't think it's a bad thing to be shy, although there can be negative impacts to it e.g. not getting help because you don't ask or not being considered for a role/project/team because it's assumed you wouldn't be good at it.

I was shy as a kid and I am still shy now that I am an old adult woman.

I used to be shy too and I thought it was bad. But now I'm not too shy like I was back then.

Why would it be bad, when it's just a personality trait. And another thing, students who aren't shy aren't necessarily rude, they might just have a different communication style. Shyness doesn't determine manners. It's important to respect everyone's individuality and not jump to conclusions about their behavior. Its crucial for a teacher to understand how to support shy students who aren't comfortable with them. Much more he/she should be able to build trust and a welcoming environment for all students regardless of their level of shyness.

I can feel your concern. I have so many online students like this.

Being shy isn't bad unless it goes to the extreme.

I was shy when I was younger. Then a huge change happened in my life. I became a born-again Christian, and I became bold. There might be areas of my life where I'm still shy, but it's not like it was.

I avoided speaking out when young. That could have been due to shyness. After starting working life, I started to assert and air my views.

some are shy in front of strangers, not people they know so, by time, they will open to you, i hope and, you are right, they are well behaved i was shy too, then it became better but later in life, some shy qualities still remained
