How frequent girls are becoming the shy type now a days?

Is this related to anxiety on the last couple of years (it seems that there's an increase of anxious girls at a high rate)?

Has anyone notice this as well?

I noticed that among the 50 women I've met, around 30 of them are shy type (possibly the anxious type too). A decade ago, this wasn't as noticeable as it is today (I think), back then, from the 50 women I would've met, 20 would've been the shy (and possibly anxious) type.

Lockdown because of covid impacted the psychology of people so definitely some people might have changed. But I feel like they might have been more prone too it. They might have a bit of stress and it gradually grew. Also many introverts are shy but it doesn't mean you are shy 100% or have anxiety it might just be that you like being alone. Personally I'm the anxious type not really good with people. After going out for the first time after lockdown I panicked but now I'm used to it again. I generally feel overwhelmed though when there is plenty of people. Conclusion: in the recent days people are indeed more anxious and possibly shy.

Yes I have noticed. It seems to be a mix of parents not bothering to teach their children how to be adequately social, plus those kids learning backwards and counterproductive social skills in public school systems that don't translate well into the real world.

Social media has a lot to do with why people are shy in general today. There is far less emphasis on in person interactions so naturally, more and more people are less comfortable with in person interactions. Its not just women, but yes I've noticed.

Your survey sample is insufficient based not on a solid method or definition and thus your observations have no merrit.
