At what age should a woman stop being shy / demure?

Question

At what age should a woman stop being shy / demure?

Answer 1

If you are super shy it might be due to an anxiety disorder that can be treated.

If its part of your personality - who you are - then why on earth would you want to change who you are?  For whom, and why?

Answer 2

I've never been demure, but I've always been quite shy.  As I am now in my fifties, I cannot see much likelihood of this situation ever changing.

Answer 3

As long as she think she is young.

Answer 4

Never "stop" being shy/demure if this is who you are.  You will become more self-confident as you get older, but don't worry about being shy.  If you're really worried about it, you can focus more on others - shyness is nothing more than excessive concern with how you're coming across.  

Shy and demure is just fine.
