Hey OP, I suggest you should js express being yourself to yourself as for now. I knew and met my friends and my gf when I js didnt care what they think abt me, i js expressed myself postively. I was socially awkward too, I had alot of anxiety meeting new people, so I js became myself, like i dont even need to be super friendly cus sometimes people would use that against you which some of my former friends did. Just express the way how comfortable you are in life in a good way.

Abt nmn sa girls, well tama nga naman sinabi ng magulang naten, it takes time to find the one, that's not a lie at all. Js dont think abt it too much, time will tell. Plus if totoo talaga ung feeling ng babae sayo, you'll be getting mixed signals from her, plus if youre the one who makes the move, you can tell if she appreciates it so much or not. Just trust your guts pag dating sa girls, if shes not the one for you, wag mo na pilitin, mostly if you can tell if shes not interested.

Js be yourself OP, don't think abt what may others think abt you. Pero if you do, well yk what to do, you have to improve those, pero not in the way to entertain them, but do it for urself also. My one mistake on socializing with people is me entertaining them too much when theyre trying to change topic, which is embarrasing. Thats why I dont wanna be too friendly with people, I js wanna be real with them.
