The short answer to your question is ‘yes’. I would like to believe that im a testament to their existence.
Let me digress....
On a serious note, I think the majority of the younger generation (females) are confused (for the lack of better word) when it comes to their overall, [personal] requisites and assessment of the opposite sex. This is partly because some of them are allowing the society to dictate for them and also coupled with the fact that their sense of appeal is constantly evolving – I believe the latter is normal.
Here I am thinking that when the dictionary says an introvert is a shy person by definition, it means the two are the same. What do I know! I think the basis should be the thorough understanding of one’s self/identity and what makes one happy – not what your friends/peers think or the society thinks you need to make you happy. Well, the definition of happiness is another discussion. One could easily attribute the precariousness in such standards to the apparent intricacy in the prevalence of various social phenomena. For example, nowadays people tend to
exist more (or even believe more) in virtual reality than physical reality. Globalization has its great affects (and effects) but virtual reality is supposed to take its models from physical reality not the other way around. The same thought process, I believe, applies to the entertainment industry and all its adjuncts. Another example: 50 cents is known by a lot people but not many people know Curtis Jackson. Curtis Jackson was born in 1975 (?) but 50 cents was born decades later. They both have same face to them but exist in two different realities.
Well, back to the question of the thread…it depends on your definition of ‘shy’.
PS – I’m not saying that these issues apply to only younger generation of females, the thread starter directed the question at females…that’s why I only addressed y’all.
