biba, if even someone like me can get an amazing gf, then i know for sure you can :3 don't be down on yourself, i bet you're beautiful and have a bunch of awesome qualities.
social awkwardness can def be hard to get over ime - and i'm nowhere near rid of it - but something that's really helped me has been joining clubs and doing volunteer work in things i like/am interested in, because through both of those i've found really great people and get to have them now as friends, and good friends boost your confidence, and confidence is sexy! :3 so i know you can do it, biba, cause if my butt can, then so can yours. ♥
i know you can, biba! the first step is seriously just believing in yourself (ik ik as corny as that is!), even if it's just a little bit that you add onto each time something positive happens in your life.
aww yeah i definitely get you, nona. ♥ it took me awhile to come out to a couple of my friends (and i'm not even sure why i was even nervous, honestly, in retrospect, since i've been out to so many others for awhile), and by the time i had told them they weren't surprised b/c they had already found out from facebook and were totally chill about it (and one was even bi lol). also ime what helped me most was finding a friend who was more forward and social than i was, because she dragged me out of my shell and made me do lots of social things out of my comfort zone - some of them i didn't have a fun time doing, but the majority of them i did, and it felt safer/easier than making me do it all by myself 'cause i had her there as a life preserver if it proved too much for me, haha.
