That's because people don't judge each other's in net.I'm imagining you as a cute cat now
Naah,I don't have rival's,I just can't share the person's who I love the most to the other people
LOL,guy's are so fun but sometimes they act like a child so those times I spent time with other's or bymyself.(which is good!)
Oh dear,,your shyness is what make's you hard to get..people like having open person's,so just act natural..(I was very shy too..) try being confident is my best advice for you,for your own good
No need to rush things of course,but if you wnat more friends irl,maybe join some groups? activites,or courses...
When I was 17,my life was about home-school-home-school..it was going like that...didn't had many friends,so I decided to apply for a course(drama)and went there every single day..1year later my shyness was gone(magic!xD)because I was trying so hard that I couldn't see the true self in me
but as the time passed I become more natural and that's what people like..
yolo sam!
