Wallflower

An individual who attends a meeting or social gathering but remains silent or passive, often avoiding active participation or engagement. Wallflowers may choose to observe rather than actively contribute to discussions, sometimes due to shyness, introversion, or a preference for listening and learning from others. In meetings, hosts and facilitators may strive to encourage wallflowers to participate and share their perspectives, recognizing that their insights can be valuable. Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment can help wallflowers feel more comfortable and willing to contribute their ideas and viewpoints, enriching the diversity of voices and ideas within the meeting.
