I have been getting some comments like "great student" "self directed learner" and then " too shy""timid" "work on communication with patients." All of the negative and positive comments are from the same evaluations. Even on an eval that I got a 5/5 on every section of. Is this bad for residency? I honestly don't feel shy, but I come across that way and it is frustrating to know that I do. My grades in rotations are High Pass or Honors. I'm just getting a little nervous.

So really if you're honoring things you have no reason to worry about the bad comments other than as a consequence free guide to help youself be a better student.
Not every school is like that, mine has a repbfor cherry-picking the bad ones. But, op, I wouldn't worry about the whole "too shy" thing--a lot of students get labeled this, but I think a lot of is just being intimidated by attendings and residents who are less than sociable
