morbidly shy
Hi there
whats meaning of :morbidly shy
Dr. Oliver Sacks was “morbidly shy,” as one of the interlocutors in this
collection notes—which may be why there were relatively few formal
interviews

shy = scared of meeting and talking to others
morbidly = abnormally
Therefore it means he was extremely nervous about doing the interviews, and didn't do many

Adding to Chris’s good answer: “morbid” is an adjective relating to disease, so “morbidly shy” means “so very shy that it is harmful to the person, just like a disease would be.”
