 bashfulness
 害羞;內向

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Bash·ful·ness, n. The quality of being bashful.
 Syn: -- Bashfulness, Modesty, Diffidence, Shyness.
 Usage: Modesty arises from a low estimate of ourselves; bashfulness is an abashment or agitation of the spirits at coming into contact with others; diffidence is produced by an undue degree of self-distrust; shyness usually arises from an excessive self-consciousness, and a painful impression that every one is looking at us. Modesty of deportment is becoming in all; bashfulness often gives rise to mistakes and blundering; diffidence in society frequently makes a man a burden to himself; shyness usually produces a reserve or distance which is often mistaken for haughtiness.
