“…Most often they avoid situations in which one can see their lack of social competence and self-efficacy (Alfano, Beidel & Turner, 2006;Smari, Pétursdóttir & Porsteinsdóttir, 2001), making it difficult to acquire a positive self-image (Oland & Shaw, 2005). They are extremely careful with social norms and show excessive self-control (Hannesdottir & Ollendick, 2007), they are unsure when they run into obstacles, withdrawn, easily confused, and show a lack of self-confidence (Greco & Morris, 2005). Feelings of powerlessness and fear of failure, rigidity, excessive self-criticism, negative expectations and low self-esteem contribute to the avoidance of redressing the reluctance of contact with other people (Mahon et al, 2006).…”
