I've never even seen it drawn anatomically correct.
It's literally copypasted on and we arbitrarily agree to call it "shyness".
Look at it.
It's totally symbolic and removed from reality.
Just cut it out entirely and we have almost zero change in expression.
It's like :) somehow means happy human face, but even less realistic. At least there we have a convention based in the reality that our mouths pull back and up when we smile.
The only people who do this in real life are weebs or weeb-inspired and they don't realize it.
