BARCLAY: Being afraid, all the time… of forgetting somebody’s name. Not knowing what to do with your hands. I mean, I am the guy who writes down things to remember to say when there’s a party. And then when he gets there, he winds up alone in the corner trying to look comfortable examining a potted plant. 

GEORDI: You’re just SHY, Barclay. 

BARCLAY: “Just shy”… Sounds like nothing serious, doesn’t it. You can’t know.
