Someone who could be called shy, someone who doesn't feel comfortable around other people. They don't like to have attention on them because it makes them uncomfortable. They like to stay off to the side at parties or dances. They have trouble talking to people because they don't know what to say. Talking to new people is not their strongest point, and standing up in front of people can make them feel awful. They may act fake around their friends to hide their real quiet personality, but to everyone else, they're invisible. Just because they're "antisocial" doesn't mean they're snobby. They just would rather watch then be involved. They know things about people that you would never know unless you watched as closely as them. You could tell anything to a wallflower and they'd never tell anyone because they try to avoid talking to people. They can be the best people, if you take the time to crack their thick shell. The opposite sex doesn't seem to consider them very much, but if you got to know them, they'd be great. They are usually attracted to other wallflowers because they are like eachother. Wallflowers are beautiful.

I consider myself a wallflower. I am mostly lonely, but once I get to know people or if people give me a chance, I can show who I really am, and I can show who I truly am, a nice and not-so-different person.

Get the wallflower mug.A person who usually goes along unnoticed and doesn't talk much. On contrary to popular belief they don't hear and know everything (some hear and know less than usual) though some do. They are usually considered loners but are actually mostly shy or introverts.

Get the Wallflower mug.Primarily, a basic wallflower who displays a general persona of demure incapability, but is in fact, one of great physical and technical prowess. Generally possess' a vast amount of unheralded, unseen power and go out of their way to be meek and unassuming, at least until a dramatic confrontation of any kind occurs in their vicinity. Whenever any sort of oppressive or aggressive humans (Bullies, jerks, thugs, etc.) are near by and active, they will feel an unholy compulsion to leap into action, screaming and laying waste to all who oppose them with their incredible skills, simply to interfere in the situation and thereby feel that they've done something significant. After they have annihilated any and all participants, they will return to their previous passive state.
