I'm shy but I still have the human desire for social interaction. Written communication with anonymous strangers strikes a good balance between avoiding shyness triggers and fulfilling that desire to be social.
(Shy probably isn't the right word. I have no problem giving a formal presentation to a room full of my coworkers, but I won't initiate an informal conversation with a coworker in the break room.)
