Abstract [en]

The high rate of mental problems among university students is considered a public health issue; however, many of these students do not seek treatment. Higher education is a part of the journey to maturity, and it can create anxiety disorders due to an overload of worry, dread, and problems (Dias Lopes, Chaves, Fabrício, Porto, Machado de Almeida, Obregon, Flores Costa, 2020). This project aims to address the shy state, one of the sensitive representatives and is easy to influence by others; it is common among young university students nowadays. 

Based on the influence of others on shy people repeatedly mentioned in the shy trait, the project creates a tool that faces both shyness and people who get along with shy people in the university. In more detail, the project aims to encourage people who struggle with the shy state to become self-awareness and self-diagnosis; meanwhile, to convey understanding to other personalities about what shyness is through visual language. Furthermore, the workshop guide generated based on the art therapy from the designer’s perspective will also provide for the universities’ well-being services which could help shy people desensitize the embarrassing moment and reduce their negative self-perception.
