Pop star Britney Spears says she is a shy person and not cut out for the showbiz industry.

The singer underwent a tough time in 2007-2008, when she was placed under conservatorship, a situation in which the court declares an individual unable to take care of legal matters. She called it "trying time" for her.

"It was a trying time. It was kind of confusing for me. Personally, I'm a shy person and I'm particularly not really made for this industry because I am so shy. It's not something I deal with so well," Britney said in a candid new documentary "I am Britney Jean", reports Bang Showbiz.

The 32-year-old is preparing for her two-year residency in Las Vegas.
