I looked this up because it’s interesting to me I was trying to think of characters with social anxiety. The first one I thought of was Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine but I wasn’t sure if it fit the category. The second one I thought of was A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman. I think he does?

Anyway, I found this interesting list on goodreads. [https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/111295.Fictional_characters_with_social_anxiety_or_social_impairment](https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/111295.Fictional_characters_with_social_anxiety_or_social_impairment) and Eleanor Oliphant is on there, so I was right.
I’d also like to recommend a self help book – How to Be Yourself by Ellen Hendrickson. Feel free to disregard this recommendation.
