What do you need advice on?

#1

I need to figure out ways to start talking. I pretty much don't talk at school because I have such social anxiety. How can I overcome this because I know that I am missing out on having friends and social experiences?

Take it slow. Try talking to one person, with just a question about homework or something. Compliment someone's shirt. As a socially anxious person myself, I like striking up conversations with deskmates over the material we're learning or being like "Wow, your shirt is awesome, what's your favorite song from that band?" Usually, you get dragged into friend groups by extroverts who claim you, lol. Good luck!

    How do you know if someone (a girl) likes you? She's messing with my hair and teasing me, but I'm not sure.

    I don't know much about flirting and stuff but it seems like she likes you, at least a little, girls can be hard to read sometimes (coming from a girl lmao)
