Bashful is another term to describe shyness. It is a shortcoming of a person's personality and one who is bashful is not comfortable in the company of people. The person loves to live alone and even if he finds that he is doing something wrong living a life without involving people, he is unable to overcome the problem as it is not something intrinsic to him.
Though the term describes a flaw, but sometimes you will find it being used to describe a feminine smile and can be considered as a complimentary term.
Common people use the shyness only to describe the phenomenon but a literary genius who uses beautiful words to describe a phenomenon would like to use it; once Ezra Pound used the term in one of his works.
