I'm so shy when between people.
When in a queue, I'd like to be the last.
That's the only time when I'm not shy.
When consuming food, I'd take one or two, or even four, depending on the context.

You are...
The soft hyphen character (a.k.a.
­)
A soft hyphen denotes a place in a block of text where a renderer should preferably insert a line-break, instead of doing so at the line's original endpoint.
I'm so shy when between people.
If a single line contains multiple soft hyphens, only the last one is rendered. Soft hyphens located in the middle of a line are invisible and have no effect on the text.
When in a queue, I'd like to be the last. That's the only time when I'm not shy.
When a soft hyphen appears to be the best location for a line to wrap, it is rendered as a hyphen followed by a line-break, causing it to become the last character on that line.
When consuming food, I'd take one or two, or even four, depending on the context.
The soft hyphen is a Unicode character. Unicode can represent characters in one, two, or four bytes, hence the food reference.
The character was also updated in Unicode versions 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0, but I believe this is a coincidence.

Is it:
Caret (^)
I'm so shy when between people.
It can represent an exponent so it is wedged between numbers (for example, 2^3 = 8)
When in a queue, I'd like to be the last.
A person can refer to the message above using the caret character
That's the only time when I'm not shy.
The above usage is used when texting other people
When consuming food, I'd take one or two, or even four, depending on the context.
Caret sounds a lot like carrot. Also, one, two, and four are all powers of two (2^0 = 1, 2^1 = 2, 2^2 = 4)

seriously? just to make sure, it's none of the synonyms for my first answer, right? like newline or line feed?

You are ...
the NULL character
I'm so shy when between people.
when sent to a printer or terminal, it is not displayed
When in a queue, I'd like to be the last.
That's the only time when I'm not shy.
in the C family of programming languages, it is used to signify the end of a string of characters
When consuming food, I'd take one or two, or even four, depending on the context.
depending on the encoding it can take one, two, or four bytes of space
EDIT: old answers below
line break character
the ENTER key

Is it:
Caret (^)
I'm so shy when between people.
It can represent an exponent so it is wedged between numbers (for example, 2^3 = 8)
When in a queue, I'd like to be the last.
A person can refer to the message above using the caret character
That's the only time when I'm not shy.
The above usage is used when texting other people
When consuming food, I'd take one or two, or even four, depending on the context.
Caret sounds a lot like carrot. Also, one, two, and four are all powers of two (2^0 = 1, 2^1 = 2, 2^2 = 4)
