So the cats at work think nervioso is the best way to say shy and not Tímido. Anyone got thoughts on this? Gracias.

Someone just called me timido yesterday,LOL. As far as I know, timido means shy, and the two are not interchangeable.

I've always said "penoso" but I see from the RAE that is regional:
penoso, sa.
(1. adj. Trabajoso, que causa pena o tiene gran dificultad.
(2. adj. Que padece una aflicción o pena.
(3. adj. coloq. Presumido de lindo o de galán.
(4. adj. Cuba, El Salv. y Méx. tímido. U. t. c. s.
