JUST PUBLISHED: MEDIA SHY: THE PERILS OF BASHFULNESS IN THE DIGITAL AGE, AN ERA OF SPEED, SATISFACTION, AND SPECTACLE

October 03, 2018 by Natasha Chuk

‘Social media is conducive to the flow of artlessly formed chatter because it encourages real-time exchange and rewards charm, humor, and fearlessness, traits that the socially shy long to possess. Mistakes can and are frequently made within this space of cursory social engagement, but the socially courageous respond effortlessly: like falling awkwardly in public, the socially timid retreat ever further into their shells after a social blunder’ (Interações: Sociedade e as Novas Modernidades, Issue 34: (In)Equalities and Social (In)Visibilities in the Digital Age, p. 108).
