Default Should I be worried?

I'm kind of concerned about my dog being socialized with other dogs, but in the opposite way most dogs act. He's not agressive at all and hardly ever barks or growls at anything. I took him to a dog park by my house, I was so excited when I found out it was there. The whole time at the park he wanted me to pick him up. He would wander away by himself and then run and scratch my leg waiting to be picked up. There were plenty of dogs there and he would walk up to them with his tail tucked and huntched over sniff them, then run to me really fast. He's around other dogs all the time so I don't know whats wrong with him. He goes to doggy daycare and at daycare he's usually by himself in a corner waiting for a human to come by. We live with a lab and he plays with him all the time. I posted before because I thought it was his confidence so I took him to agility classes and he does pretty good when he's in the mood and has high energy. Should I be concerned or is it just part of his personality? The thing that worries me is his tucked tail and very cautious demeanor. He loves people though, on walks he will literally throw his body down in front of a person expecting a belly rub and nothing I can say will make him stop (it's actually kind of funny, but I'm trying to make him stop doing that), but if we see a dog he acts interested but soon as I say leave it one time he keeps walking. Is he just dog shy, or is he just the complete opposite from the Alpha dog? I'm kind of worried.

By the way he's almost 11 mos, fixed, and I've had him 8 mos.

Please give advice or encouragement, Thanks!!
