Showing disapproval over wrong taking place

Question

What should I do if I am too shy to forbid evil and command good?

Answer

If you cannot stop the wrong, then move away from the gathering where the sin is taking place. Moving away from the gathering is also a way of showing your disapproval over the wrong.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
