I am reading "Painfully Shy" by Barbara G. Markway, Ph.D. and Greg P Markway Ph.D.

I came across an interesting chapter...how biological makeup can predispose a person to being painfully shy and having social phobia....

It says: Among Caucasian children, a shy temperament is more common in children with blue eyes. Although the exact mechanisms are not clear, iris pigmentation is associated with the concentration of certain neurotransmitters, and this may account for the connection between the two.

I guess I don't need to mention that I have light blue eyes.

Also, my father had light blue eyes and suffered great anxiety and for many reasons became an alcoholic (he became absolutely delusional....always thought he was fighting in WW2 with the Germans...)

My mother has light blue eyes.....she is a shy person with people she doesn't know......she is not depended on any drugs or alcohol.
