Depending on the source, and how you interpret what it says, 20-40 per cent of the world population is shy. I say it depends on the source and the interpretation because western cultures simply don't understand what "shyness" is. It's very difficult to explain, but shyness in and of itself is not a trait-- it's a symptom of a trait that [western] psychology has all but ignored; SPS, or Sensory Processing Sensitivity. The first person to do any notable research, starting in the 1990's, is Dr. Elaine Aron, author of the book, "The Highly Sensitive Person." Google her name or the name of the book and you'll find her/it.

Why do some people think talking to someone is easy when in reality they are shy?
It is sometimes human nature and thoughtlessness at the same time when some people find it easy to talk to other people without being shy so they don't consider that person may be shy. Often shy people don't show they are shy and may either simply smile not saying much or are off in their own little world or remain silent. The reason many people have problems talking to other people is thanks to technology; they can spend hours on the computer talking to either friends or total strangers and many of the youth today simply don't meet others face to face, but are too busy texting or answering their cell phone or spending hours on the computer. Some people do it the old fashion way and socialize more with more sociable people where it's a one on one basis.
