wallflower

Perennial plant native to southern Europe, bearing fragrant yellow and orange flowers. The name is derived from the fact that the plant, when naturalized to a region, is often found growing out of the nooks and crannies in an old wall, or a cliff. The natural tendency for this plant to separate itself from the other denizens of a formal garden, and grow in isolated locations, doubtless led to the use of the term "wallflower" to describe an anti-social, or shy individual, who lingers in the background, against the wall, as it were, at social occasions.
The heady fragrance of wallflowers growing on the embankment wafted up to me.

a wallflower is a person that doesnt like talking or being around other people. though they might not talk to people, i know many things about a lot of people. they are the ones that you can tell anything to and they wont tell anybody because they prefer to not talk to people in genral. they are only open to their true friends, but some times they act fake to hide their shyness in front of them too. no one talks to them, or chooses to, because wallflowers dont seem like interesting people to talk to. youll never become friends with a wallflower until you get to break into their thick, thick shell. wallflowers are some of the most interesting people to meet, but you will never get to know them unless you try because theyre not the type to be the starter of a friendship.
i consider myself a wallflower. most of the time people veiw it as a bad thing, but its really not. though i dont have many friends, i love them all.
