More about the book

Focusing on the social processes that shape self-identified 'shy' individuals, the book employs Symbolic Interactionist theories to analyze how shyness is performed in public settings. It delves into concepts of interactional competence, examining the intersections of identity, embodiment, performativity, and deviance. Through this exploration, it sheds light on the complexities of navigating social interactions as a shy person.
