I'd say it was a personality trait rather than an emotion, but that's just me...

I suppose shyness could be attributed to fear of embarressment or fear of rejection or humiliation, so it could be an emotion.

well you do "feel" it, so i'd say its quite close to an emotion

Shyness can be the result of a number of emotions I would say. It is not an emotion itself though.
Trusty Livejournal doesn't have it listed under its lists of 'moods' either :wink:

shyness is a form of fear and fear is an emotion so i'd say yes. you're definitely feeling and emotion when you're feeling shy because you're not being completely rational

Yeh, being embarrassed is an emotion, but I wouldn't say being shy was- it's more of an adjective.
