-Fear of conflict; not voicing complaints, lest the subject(s) of the complaint react harshly
-Extremely low self-esteem; lower than that of a person suffering from depression
-Crippling shyness
-Being easily embarrassed or flustered
-Over-explaining a lot to avoid any potential misunderstandings
-Being unresponsive to any forms of communication (particularly verbal communication), especially if they are unhappy with someone, or vice versa
