Can in and on be used in this sentence? Thank

"In" is actually the preferred preposition in this context. "About" is also common.

I'm not sure how I let "with" by without a comment.
If we skipped the "showing," we might say, "He was not bashful with his dissatisfaction." That is, he flaunted it, so to speak.

Can with be used with showing though? Is it allowed or grammatically correct?

We're talking about "with," right? I wouldn't call it incorrect.

He's not bashful with showing his X. I probably wouldn't use it in a term paper.

Let me check the Google hits, just for the heckovit.

Wow! what a range!

"bashful about showing" 43,000
"bashful in showing" 826
"bashful with showing" 8
