Wallflower (people)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
A wallflower is someone who is a type of loner that can be very shy and who is not close with other individuals. When they attend group gatherings, they may choose or feel the need to blend in and remain silent.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd ed), the first known usage of the term in this sense was in an 1820 poem entitled County Ball by Winthrop Mackworth Praed. It was originally used to refer to women, and only in the context of dances; more recently the term has been expanded to include men and other social gatherings.
