I. Introduction

This is a case study on my self-analysis, it refers to my

unknown or should I say hidden unconscious behavior. It is for
me to find out or to know what my problem or problems are. After I
will have done this book, I hope I will know what my problems are,
and I promise to change it a little with the best that I can. I will
also wont let that problem to control my attitude, feelings,
emotional, mental, social, and physical. I wont let it ruin my whole
life. This study will help me get better or to realize if Im doing
right or wrong. It will prove myself what things I can do more or
the things that I cant really do.

Acknowledgement to the person who help me do this, even

though I know to myself that I dont really need help about
confessing myself to this book. Thankful to my father who found a
good store that print this book. Acknowledge also to the persons
there in the printing shop and also to my beloved readers (If I
have) that will appreciate this book. Thanks also to Psychology and
to my professor required this to us, I really need to do this,
because it will really help me a lot.

II. Statement of the Problem

Actually, I dont know what problem should I focus on. So
lets begin to the very common, I have to admit that Im a timid
person, in other words Im shy , sometimes Im lacking a selfconfidence. In the next chapter you can also figure out the other
problems, or the history or background of my problem.

A. Significance of the study

1. Parents
This is so important for my parents. Because if I do the
implementation, it will help me to deduct my problem and be a
good daughter. I also have problem with my parents, because
sometimes if I have problem about social or sometimes in school, I
really didnt try to tell them because I am not close to my parents
like the other daughters and sons did. The truth is, that time is
when my problem attacked. Im saying that I dont really like to tell
them what my problems are but the true reason is I am shy, what
if they dont understand me, what if they think Im not matured
enough, what if theyre going to say it to others, what if they think
Im weird, and the what if questions goes on. I need to admit that
Im also a negative thinker. My parents are very hard working
persons, my mother always telling me that they need to work hard
for me and for my siblings, she also said that its for our future. Im
thankful to God that He gave me an industrious, understanding
and lovable parents. As usual Im shy to say that I love them, but I
hope they can feel and see it from me by studying hard and
aiming for high grades. Even though sometimes Im a hard
headed, or should I say a slightly bad daughter, well I guess I am
not that perfect. Because they are a working hard person, I really
need to be a good student. I need to give them a slightly high
grades. I hope so.

2. Teachers
Its also important for the teachers. Its for them to know
what are the problems of their students. If the teachers know
about the problem of their students, I think they will be helping the
students including me. Even though some teachers doesnt trust
the other students that are deserving, I think most of us are
treating them with full respect, and of course we should trust
them. The teachers may know the problem of their students by
reading this book. They can help us by simply showing us that
they appreciate our existence in the class, even though the others
doesnt want to cooperate with the discussion. I know the feeling
of the others that doesnt cooperate by reciting their own
thoughts, the others that really doesnt care about the certain
topic, and the others that are really shy to talk in front of the class.
I include myself to those who doesnt want to talk in front of the
whole class, but trying hard to cooperate by listening.

I hope our professors or should I say our second parents will

not give up the students that are longing for their help, I think they
can give some advice for us. I also know that they are doing things
what they think were right. All we need o do was to trust them and
always listen to their lessons that are ma be very helpful for us.

3. School

In school, there are a lot of challenges, first is the

examinations, and the other is the social challenge of course. It
must be a mystery for others, that a timid, quiet person like me
has friends in school. I overcome the challenge because I am
being real me when Im in front of my friends, Im such a moody,
sometimes Im quiet and barely to talk, and sometimes Im
talkative. I think this is base on a certain topic that we are talking
about. I overcome having few friends but not a lot of friends, well, I
think thats not important. I think Im a little bit shy when Im
going to talk in front of my classmates, the others are my friends
but the others were completely strangers to me. That is why I hate
to include myself in some reportings, I think Im going to freak out
of the others.

Behind all those problems, I think this school will help me

find my place where I need to stand out. The school will help me
stand on my own foot, help me conquer my fear, my problem of
being shy, my abnormal palpitating of my heart when Im nervous
and others. In other words, the school is important for the students
like me to overcome or conquer our problems, through facing the
real words.

4. Everybody

This study is about someone who expresses her/his own idea

how to live and be grateful for what they are doing. About the
problem that can be cured or can be changed. Everyone knows
how to socialize with some random people but who knows? What
about the others ? What if they can't socialize with others, what if
they can't express what they really feel with others, what if they
don't want the others see what they really are? Well, the answer is
they need to try their best to speak with others by dropping their
fear or by conquering it.

It's important for the person who has the same problem.
Everyone needs to communicate to others in personal. Let say for
example that you haven't eaten and doesn't have much money to
buy, and there's a good samaritan who asked you join him/her to
eat and you just ignore him. Then it became that the victim is you.
So, as we were talking about why is it important for everybody, it's
important because most of everybody can help the victims of the
problem. They can help by guiding and supporting the victim, they
can always talk to them, for the victim to get rid of the feeling of
having a real conversation with others. Here's a quote You've got
to stand up and do your own battles. My daddy taught me that a
long time ago, that you fight your own battles. The only way to
shut everybody up is to win. from Terry Bradshaw

B. Review of Related Literature

On this chapter the author will include some related studies

about unknown behavior. The study that will tell why a person
become timid or having shyness. The author did a researches
about the certain topic and include some authors who wrote it.

Psychology is derived from the Greek words Psyche and logos,

meaning soul and study. To Greeks, Psychology is simply a study of
the soul.
Kinds of Behavior
a. Overt -> behavior that is observable by others and can be seen
readily (ex. Laughing, shouting, talking, etc.)
b. Covert -> behavior that is internal therefore not observable and
cannot be seen. This comes in the forms of feelings, thoughts, and
motives (ex. Happy, angry, imaginations, etc.)
Sigmund Freud, a Psychoanalyst classified behavior according to a
persons awareness of his behavior, to wit:
a. Conscious Behavior -> any behavior that the person is aware of
(ex. walking, eating, etc.)
b. Unconscious Behavior -> any behavior that the person is not
aware of (ex. mannerisms, shaking of the legs while sitting, biting
your fingers, playing, with your pen while listening to your
teachers discussion, etc.)
According to Freud, our unconscious is bigger than the conscious.
Dreams and slip of the tongue phenomenon are some ways of
releasing the unconscious.

Problem Behaviors
"Problem behavior is behavior that is socially defined as a problem, as a source of
concern, or as undesirable by the social and/or legal norms of conventional society
and its institutions of authority; it is behavior that usually elicits some form of social
control response, whether minimal, such as a statement of disapproval, or extreme,
such as incarceration." Richard Jessor

What Is Shyness?
Shyness is an emotion that affects how a person feels and behaves around others.
Shyness can mean feeling uncomfortable, self-conscious, nervous, bashful, timid, or
insecure. People who feel shy sometimes notice physical sensations like blushing or
feeling speechless, shaky, or breathless.

Shyness is the opposite of being at ease with yourself around others. When people
feel shy, they might hesitate to say or do something because they're feeling unsure
of themselves and they're not ready to be noticed.

Study Sheds Light on What Makes People Shy

by Live Science Staff The brains of shy or introverted individuals
might actually process the world differently than their more
extroverted counterparts, a new study suggests.

About 20 percent of people are born with a personality trait called

sensory perception sensitivity (SPS) that can manifest itself as the
tendency to be inhibited, or even neuroticism. The trait can be
seen in some children who are "slow to warm up" in a situation but
eventually join in, need little punishment, cry easily, ask unusual
questions or have especially deep thoughts, the study researchers
say.
The new results show that these highly sensitive individuals also
pay more attention to detail, and have more activity in certain
regions of their brains when trying to process visual information
than those who are not classified as highly sensitive.

III. Personal Background/History

A. Childhood

Back to the old days of mine, I'm living quietly opposite as today. When I was
in my grade school years, I'm a very talkative child most of my batch mates know
me because I am very friendly back then. All of my teachers know me, some of them
are giving me some task to help them, like to remit the money to the canteen, check
the test papers,teach and guide my classmate who doesn't understand the lesson,
and list all the noisy in the classroom. Maybe the teachers know me because I
always recite to their subjects. Since grade 1 until grade 6, I am always at the top 10
list on our class.

Well, back then I describe myself as a little bossy(erase the little) I always
command my classmates somethings like I'm a boss, I know they can't resist me
because I'm the teacher's favorite. I studied on a public elementary school where
there are many bad students. When I was in grade Iv, I met Rujane, she's one of my
closest friend now. Back then, I really hate her because she's always making fun of
me everytime the teachers not around. Bully physically like slapping my arms,
pinching me, she always doing that because we're having a fight through word,
though she's hurting me physically. And because of that we became good buddies,
we did bullying our classmates. I initiate her bullying skills, though I know that it's
not good. I did bully one of my friend like pushing her, causing her to fell down on
the fence. My conscience is killing me but there's Rujane comforting me by saying
Hey, it's okay its not your fault. . We became good friends till some teachers
separated us from each other when we come to the sixth grade.

On the sixth grade , I told myself to behave well and be a good

student/classmates. I am not that very talkative like on grade IV-V and I'm not
bullying others. I'm grateful about it. Until I met a group of my classmates, which I
found so annoying. But they became my friends and my self-confidence boost again
as I spent the last year of grade school happily, little noisy, sometimes behave,
excelling in class with my crazy noisy and bad friends. I miss them. Really.

Well that's my past childhood, I'm looking to it like it was an adventure movie
of mine of course I'm the protagonist.

B. Adolescent

During my adolescent life. Let's start on the first year of high school. It was a
semi private school, so a lot of students were expected. I'm a late enrollee so they
include me on the second section out of 17 sections. Even though I expected to be
on the first section cause I know it's based on grades, but I'm a late enrollee. The
first section had 30-40 students while the others have 60-70 students, there was a
lot of students from different elementary school. That's the start of the problem. I'm
asking myself how to be friendly, how to socialize with others, how may I going to
start a conversation. So many questions in my head that I can't answer each of it.
That's the day I decide to be shy to others, to be shy on my classmates, to my
friends. I barely recite, that's the reason why I got a 77 grade on one of my favorite
when I was in elementary, that was mathematics. That's the very first time I got a
grade like that in my whole life, so I feel down about it. So I barely talk and show my
feelings, I become shy and quiet.
On second year on high school, Rujane was one of my classmate. When I saw
her, I don't know what to say, I'm shy and I don't know why, so I ended up ignoring
her. Maybe she noticed it so she confront me first, and boom, were friends again. We
had a lot of friends unlike on my first year, we don't like we did before, I became a
good student One of my closest friend is Geraldine but I call her dindin.
Third year high school was fun than ever before. I became a fangirl of an
KPOP stars like SNSD. They are my favorite, they become my inspirations I guess.
Once again, I become friendly, a noisy one, a talkative one, in short a naughty one.
I'm always talking about KPO, the names of SNSD members were always coming out
of my mouth. Maybe I influent my seat mates , then they become my circle of
friends, a very close friends, we are nine actually, and they treat me as the leader,
which boost my confident again. Some of them are my best friends until now, they
are Karen and Jonalyn. I'm calling the Yuri(Karen) and Sica (Jonalyn), that's based on
their bias member in SNSD and they also called me TaeYeon (TeYon), the leader of
SNSD/Girls' Generation. I miss the, a lot , our crazy moves, the moment we were
singing korean songs, that everyone except us don't understand. In short our group
was the noisiest group in our class. Well as a leader I influenced them to study hard,
even though we;re hard headed, so 6 of us are on the top 10 in the class, I'm on the
third spot, the first two were not on my group but they're my friends. Until on the 4 th
year 5 of us passed the average limit to become a section one students.
Rujane and I became clasmates again, were seat mates actually. Then there
goes again shyness on my body, because of the thoughts that I'm going to socialize
on th every smart persons in our school. I barely talk again, I feel sorry about my
friends because they barely recite too, I think I influenced them again, hoping not to.
But that was my last year of my high school, so I cheer them up. We have a lot of
friends again but not so close as the third year. I had a lot of fun that year, we just
enjoy our last year that were together, and of course we studied hard.

C. Turning Point

As of now, with the fact that I'm from different place and city. I think I'm going
to have a hard time to socialize with others. I'm from Cavite, and we speak straight
in Filipino and Tagalog. But here in Pangasinan, they speak another language, which I
prefer to be hard to learn their accent. Some of my classmates were making fun of
me during the first week of school, they're asking me questions during language and
I can't talk back because I don't know how to, so they ended up laughing at me. Well,
I just ignore them, even though inside of me want to shout and slap each of them to
make them shut, but I didn't because I'm an educated person and I know how to
control my behavior. After that scene, I barely talk to them, I don't want them to be
my friends anymore. I'm going to treat anything about it as a past.

Right now, I have new friends. They treat me well as a good friend, we're
happy if we're always together. We share some stories about ourselves. That's it, we
share the good times, I mean we also don't forget to study hard when it comes to
examinations. And that's the kind of friends is what I am looking for.

Ostensively, I'm enjoying their hobnob and consort. I feel at ease with my
new friends because I know that we have the same perception in life, and that is to
study very hard , even though it's doggedly when it comes in studying. Although
most of the time, I'm in my self problem , not deciding whether I'm going to recite/
report in class because I'm really shy. I hope, I can gain my self-confidence again
when I'm with them.

B. Intervention
What causes shyness
The causes of shyness have not been demonstrated adequately to justify any firm
statements on the issue. However, shyness experts identify as possible causes (a)
genes predisposing a person to shyness, (b) a less than firm attachment bond
between parent and child, (c) poor acquisition of social skills, or (d) parents, siblings,
or others harshly and frequently teasing or criticizing a child.
What's good about shyness
Shy children tend to engage in significantly less social misbehavior than other
children. This may occur because shy children care so much about what others think
of them.
What's bad about shyness
Shyness experts vary in their views about whether childhood shyness leads to
mental health problems later. However, the practical and emotional problems caused
by shyness are apparent. As a practical matter, shy children obtain less practice of
social skills and develop fewer friends. They tend to avoid activities, such as sports,
drama, and debate, that would put them in the limelight. Shy children tend to be
perceived as shy, unfriendly, and untalented, and they tend to feel lonely and have
low self-esteem and a higher than average level of gastrointestinal problems . Shy
children tend to become anxious teens . Shy adults tend to have smaller social
networks and to feel less satisfied than others with their social support networks .
Many shy individuals think of their shyness as a significant problem that hinders
them in myriad ways . Fortunately, some individuals act less shy as they become
older . However, even these individuals may regret their prior shyness, thinking
sadly of the social opportunities they missed.

Unconscious behavior of an individual may be prevented or can be healed . First is

that he/she need to know what the problem is, then think about the reason why
does he get it or where did it came from.
After realizing the problem, talk about it with your closest relatives or closest friend
or whoever as long as you trust him/her. Then take some of his/her advice that make
you so comfortable with. Do it with all your heart and have some break with those
kinds of problems.
Also learn how to socialize with others , and have some friends that will surely help
you with you problems.

V. Implication
Individual may have the possibility to be shy or to have an unconscious behavior.
But it can be prevented by taking the advice from the previous chapter. If you take
that advice you will overcome that problem and have another chance to live
peacefully without a doubt.
You will have a reason again to have a good time and be happy without having a
hard time thinking what to do as along as you have a true and good friends or
relatives that will stay with you even though you're not going to force them.
