I'm a shy girl vs I'm shy

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I'm a shy girl' implies that being shy is a defining characteristic of the speaker as a girl. On the other hand, 'I'm shy' simply states that the speaker is generally shy without specifying gender. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the speaker's gender or not.
