Is intense shyness in dealing with men and looking at them, a shyness that sometimes extends to include women, considered a weakness in personality, especially given an internal desire to be admired by young men?
A woman's strength of character is required in moderation, while preserving her modesty and dignity in front of men. The feeling of fear when speaking to men and the inability to look them in the eye is not a problem; rather, it is in accordance with Islamic law, unless it exceeds the limit of moderation, in which case it becomes a social phobia requiring psychological consultation. A woman must fear Allah if she is impressed by a young man, avoid what angers Allah, and not speak to men except out of necessity and with politeness, and lower her gaze. What you are feeling may be social phobia that requires seeking Allah's help and consulting specialists. One must also be aware of the danger of unlawful mixing in the workplace.
