<human>: How can I get my son to be less shy?
<bot>: One way to help your son become less shy is to encourage him to participate in activities that he finds enjoyable. Encourage him to try new things and talk to other people, even if it's just a small conversation. Additionally, make sure he feels supported by you and his family. Offer words of encouragement and remind him that everyone has some degree of shyness and that it doesn't mean he isn't capable or worthy of being around others.
