five of us

Good answer from pjc2809!
Your daughter doesn't sound "abnormal" if she's always been shy. If she is generally happy, has goals for her life, then just accept her for who her is, and allow her to grow at her own pace. Everyone is different. Pushing her will probably make her feel more uncomfortable. If being withdrawn is something that is new with her, then it's abnormal.
I was very shy too when I was younger, and I hated people telling me what I should be.
