Default Anyone adopt and adult Yorkie? (behavioral)

(Just in case you missed it)
I adopted Paige about 3 weeks ago from a breeder, she is 2 years old.

Personally I am not having any problems with Paige, she is such a sweetheart, but she seems shy around lots of people and/or big places. I have taken her for a few walks and once we leave the yard she gets scared and wants to be carried, if it's noisy all I can do to calm her down is put her in my shirt. I brought her in to pick up my daughter from a Girl Scout meeting and I was holding her, as soon as an adult tried to pet her she climbed up onto my shoulder and tried to bury herself under my neck.
Now, not that any of this is bad for me because she is very attached and I really rather people not touch her, I just tell them she is shy and doesn't like it BUT I am concerned about her and if there is anything I can do or that should be done.
Has anyone's Yorkies been through this? Personally I think she is just tired, tired of being shown, tired of being in strange places with strange people but if you have any insight to the yorkies thinking, do tell I just want her to be happy 24/7
