How to use "Timid" in context?
Most people would describe someone who is timid as someone who is very afraid to do or say anything that might inconvenience them.

A person who is timid may suffer from anxiety or other mental health problems. Although most people are probably timid at some point in their lives, there are ways to overcome this fear. One way is to learn how to control your emotions. Another is to learn how to deal with stress. Finally, keep in mind that it is ok to be a little shy.
