I think there's something there - I feel like there's a sort of glamourisation of shyness on some social media, as if claiming it as a label inducts you into a special club. I can be shy, like many people, but I can't fathom those who claim it as a special quality to be treasured.

They're trying to find others who identify in the same way they do.

It's the same as people who work long hours collectively complaining and one-upping one another, competing for who does the most grueling shifts. Just people wanting a group to identify with.
